Having purchased the former Brooks Memorial Methodist Church and begun its transfor mation into the Marshall Civic Center, the Civic Center Foun dation has resumed fund raising for the project. Although the conversion is barely underway, organizations have already started using the facility. The Marshall Senior Citizens plan to hold their monthly meetings there starting in September and the members of the Junior Chamber of Com merce will use it for food ser vice during the Marshall His toric Home Tour, September 12- 13. Present plans call for comple tion of a stage and installation of theater seats so that the Marshall Civic Players can have the use of the theater por tion of the buildings by Novem ber 1. Morris Stulberg, chairman of the Civic Center Foundation, said that the earlier drive had raised more than $90,000 of the $150,000 originally solicited for the project. Of that, some $50,000 cover ed the purchase, $50,000 was for conversion and $50,000 for equipping the center. Stulberg explained the drive was suspended while the status of the foundation as a non-profit organization was cleared with the Internal Revenue Service. This clearance has now been granted, and all donations, both past and future, are legally de ductible. In the course of these efforts, the foundation donated the building and its equipment to the City of Marshall but has agreed to be responsible for raising funds for the renovation of the center. Meanwhile, the building con version is progressing. Pews and organ have been sold and removed and plans are afoot to move the center posts in or der to give sufficient space for the stage. When completed it is intended the building will be available to all Marshall civic, fraternal, social, young people’s and chil dren’s organizations. Those interested in making donations can send them to Civic Center Foundation, P.O. Box 28, Marshall, Mich. 49068.
