www.bayviewassociation.org Page 02 The Town Crier Friday, July 02, 2010 Fundraising campaign THE HEART OF BAY VIEW CAMPAIGN enters its final phase FOR From Peggy and Norm--- JOHN M. HALL AUDITORIUM The Bay View community has determined that its main assembly venue, John M. Hall Auditorium, is sound struc- turally but its facilities and equipment are outdated. A new building is not needed; the existing building needs to be improved. $1,500,000
To fund that improvement, the community has $1,250,000 launched The Heart of Bay View Campaign, a project in which we believe and which we are happy to lead. $1,000,000 The success of this campaign will allow Bay View to enhance the auditorium’s facilities for worship services, concerts, lectures, and musical performances. Restrooms, $ 750,000 running water, quality sound and lighting will assure that Bay View can continue to present outstanding programs. $ 500,000 With safety improvements and handicapped access, the building can be brought into compliance with codes. $ 250,000 These are all worthwhile objectives that are appropriate to a community of Bay View’s importance. For us personally, there are several valuable aspects of this campaign. First, we respect the thoughtful and delib- Bay View Association erate process that brought the community to this decision. of the United Methodist Church Second, we feel it’s significant that members of both Bay 2010 View and the larger community will benefit from these improvements. to do our part to contribute to the future of Bay View.

happy birthday, evelyn hall Four guests from the past ready to greet visitors at the 120th birthday party for evelyn Hall June 27 are (from left) evelyn Peters (Martha Charlotte Talley), richard Peters (Bill McGill), Anna Smeed Benjamin (Jackie Harrison) and Frances Willard (Carol Perkins). Peters, a lumber baron from Manistee, provided money for the hall and dedicated it to his wife, evelyn. Willard was instrumental in starting the Women’s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) and was a strong leader for women’s suffrage. Benjamin was president of the Michigan WTCU and worked for the plans and construction of evelyn Hall. The parlor Sunday was decorated with Victorian centerpieces on pink clothes tables designed and arranged by Brian Collins. Pink lemonade and cookies with 120 written on them were served as in the 60th celebration in 1950, according to Suzanne Ternan, chairperson.
