Legion, K of C, Country Club sport a new look

While some social halls have closed in Marysville in recent years, others that remain open have undergone redecorating and facelift projects as they anticipate continued use.

Club managers and organization leaders are encouraging the public to book their halls as venues for social and business events.

The Marysville Moose Club was the latest local social hall to close. VFW Club 36 is currently not available for rent, according to member Jeff Keating, who together with Charlie Griswold, coordinated bookings at Club 36.

Our active membership is down, and we are not too keen on hiring people outside of the organization to run the building, Keating said.

The last season for roller skating at Club 36 was last spring. The L.O.V.E. Marysville banquet was held in 2011 and 2013 at Club 36, and was moved to the Legion for this years event.

Club 36, which was built as a dance hall, meeting facility and skating rink several decades ago, has been the site of many big band dances, roller skating and other events. It is owned by Marysville VFW Post 2699.

Remodeling projects at Marysvilles American Legion and Marysville Country Club are completed, and the second phase of a facelift at the Knights of Columbus Hall will begin in a month.

The Marysville American Legions recent facelift was the first update in a long while, said Mike Maschmeier, Legion commander.

Work on the interior was done last fall and included painting the hallway, coatroom, small and large dining hall and the bar in a light brown color. Ceiling tile was replaced, and the ceiling rail was painted black. The furnace ducts, framing and other metal accents were also painted black. The same color scheme was carried out throughout the building.
