The Soldier Community Club is undergoing some major updating, repairs, and restoration. The efforts got a nice boost with the receipt of grants from several organizations as well as the support of our community resulting from our activities and fundraisers.
From Diamond Vogel Paints and Keep Iowa Beautiful, a grant of 30 gallons of paint has helped in beautifying the exterior of our building, and we also have plans for the main entrance to our town.
Monetary support resulting from our fundraisers, as well as donated materials and labor from Valley Electric, Don Amunson, Dennis Hanneman, Tom Kennedy and his brothers have all led to an excellent start on our lower level renovation. This ongoing project will eventually house the Senior Center which may also double as a multi-use area.
A $2000 grant from the Siouxland Community Foundation will purchase a new sound system to replace the very old system currently in the building.
Monona County Community Partners has granted our community $3500 for our new Wellness Project. Soon to be offered are exercise classes for all ages as well as classes for personal enhancement and mental well-being.
June 23, 2007 will be the date of the second annual Soldier Fun Day, which was a big success last year. Thanks to the Harrison-Monona-Shelby Decategorization Board for supporting this year's effort with $2000. This event will also feature the open house for our new Wellness Project.
