"The facility is going to be used as a community centre which may be part of a future hub.
Once we complete our repairs and some minor renovations we hope to start offering the facility for use to the public," said public relations director Mark Demeo, adding that this space provides an additional source of revenue for the club - which has puts countless thousands back into the community over the decades.
Initial budget renovations
are $10,000 for the 11,000 square foot space.
From craft markets to fundraisers to weddings, the possibilities
for community gathering is seemingly endless. Early inquiries indicate a possible fall boxing match.
As the club continues to grow and expand their ventures, they are welcoming new members with open arms.
The club meets on the 1st & 3rd Tuesday of each month.
"We are always looking for new members and we can really use more manpower now."
