hat is the heart of any small town if not the old hall? The Chase Community Hall is no exception, with its wood floors and high ceilings used nearly every night of the week for activities from square dancing to archery practice to craft sales. It has a lot of history and has seen a lot of use. The current stove is nearly 25 year old and has cooked for many events including weddings and funerals, meetings and dances. With all this use the stove has become unreliable and in need of replacement. “It’s time to retire the old girl!” said Bev Iglesias, who volunteers in the kitchen often for different events. The floor in the kitchen has been worn through and also needs replacing. Iglesias is one of the women
spearheading this effort through a pie and coffee fundraiser. The group invites you buy a ticket for a piece of pie with coffee or tea for $20.00 and come to the unveiling of the new floor and stove on May 3rd in the Community Hall Basement between 1:00 and 8:00 pm. Your choice of Apple, Coconut Cream or Lemon Meringue. Support the cause with a whole pie for $100. This fundraiser is just another chapter in the Halls’ history; the current hall was built in 1951 largely by volunteers.
