Work Commences on Basement of Hall

Extensive repair and remodeling is underway on the basement of the community building in Soldier, Iowa. Built in the 1930s by all-volunteer labor, the building has been the center of civic and social life in Soldier for about three-quarters of a century.

Home to 4H meetings, wedding dances, town meetings, political rallies, craft fairs, Santa visits, roller skating, you name it, the Soldier Community Building has become an institution in our town. Her basement is in need of some TLC after being used for many purposes through the years.

While it has served well, it certainly does need some help and that is what is happening now. New walls and a lowered ceiling are in progress. Floor treatments will follow. To help or donate to this cause, contact any club member!

Hello and thank you for visiting Soldier's Hometown News. We hope that this will become your favorite place to learn about "all things Soldier".

If you used to live in Soldier and have moved away, we look forward to welcoming you back this year. There is much going on in Soldier, from new businesses on Main Street to new residents, from an upcoming cellular tower to a revitalized Community Club.

Speaking of the Community Club, they are currently working feverishly on a number of projects, including establishing meal delivery to house-bound citizens; preserving our Community Building, an architectural gem and a testament to our Soldier Spirit; organizing Care Packages From Home for our local troops stationed overseas; providing ongoing social meal opportunities (Fish Fry Fridays, Mexican Buffett, Pancake Supper, etc); creating safe entertainment options for local youth; developing Exercise and Fitness Opportunities for local citizens and the list goes on and on.

For an update or to help, come to a meeting generally the second Tuesday of each month, or contact any member of the Community Club.

Thank you for visiting and we hope you come back often. If this is your first experience with Soldier, we hope you will come see us in "Real Time" soon.
