What Your Gift Makes Possible

  • Protect the structure: strengthen critical building elements, complete roof work, and help secure the clubhouse against water and weather.
  • Modernize essential systems: improve electrical, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems for safety and reliable use.
  • Restore historic character: preserve original floors, windows, finishes, and architectural details wherever possible.
  • Create a more welcoming space: update the kitchen, bathrooms, and outdoor areas and improve accessibility.
  • Expand community impact: sustain an affordable place for volunteer projects, educational programs, celebrations, meetings, and local fundraising events.

Restoring the Clubhouse in Two Phases

Phase I: Make the Building Safe, Strong, and Weather-Tight

Phase I addresses the most urgent structural and safety needs: structural tie-downs, roof replacement, and related exterior repairs. The immediate priority is to protect the building from further deterioration and create a sound foundation for the work ahead.

Phase II: Restore the Spaces Where Community Happens

Phase II will focus on the HVAC modernization, electrical and plumbing upgrades, clubhouse interior and visitor experience—refinishing original flooring, restoring historic windows, updating the kitchen and bathrooms, improving accessibility, enhancing outdoor spaces, and refreshing interior and exterior finishes.
