Grand River Community Center

Through a generous bequest from the Dale West Estate, Grand River now has a beautiful community center. Dale’s will designated Gene, Richard and Brad Binning to carry out his wishes in the building of our new center. We have received some grant money and several organizations and individuals have contributed to the construction, furnishings and supplies for the building.

With the diligence of many hours of oversight and labor from Gene, Norma, Richard and Brad Binning and a few volunteers for certain tasks, the new Grand River Community Center is complete. The final touches and supplies are done and ready for a spring open house and dedication on April 5th at 2:00 P.M.

A Grand River Community Center Foundation is being established (which will be non-profit status and tax deductable) for the raising of funds for the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the building. A Board of Directors is in place to oversee the building and generate monetary funds by bequests, memorials, rents, gifts and donations.

We have a memory plaque hanging at the Community Center on which you can have a name engraved for a donation of $100 or more. We feel this will be a good way to raise money and to honor and remember the citizens who came before us.

We can seat at least 160 people at tables and have the capacity to add more if needed. We have a fully equipped kitchen with two refrigerators, two stoves, a separate freezer for the Senior Citizens Meal site, and all the utensils needed for cooking.

Come see us and enjoy our new building. It is also available for rent for, receptions, anniversaries, birthday parties, family reunions, etc. If you are interested in booking the building, please call:

Mary Stogdill at 515-669-6318 or after 5:00 P.M. at 641-773-5625.
