Community Building
#

Our community building was completely remodeled in 2013, adding more space and updating the facilities to create a clean, bright location perfect for group events.

Local organizations get one room per month free, with a charge of $10.00 for each additional usage per month.

A refundable deposit of $200.00 is required for use of the building.
