Undsay Marshall LepiCownel The Foundation Board of Directors has initiated a new Robert Kidd CPA fundraising program to finance the development of the Financial Conine! Community Education Complex. The rebuilding of the ChadeneLange old music facility is the third phase of developing a cultural city a#Lxwitmbm and recreational center for the City of Lodi at Hutchins Street Square. To date, the Foundation has completed the construction of a three acre park and most recently retired the near half million dollar debt of the ten acre site. We are now engaged in completing the final drawings of the new Community Education Complex with the Lodi Design Group. The architect's estimate for the cost of the rehab work is $400,000. The Community Education Complex is an 8,000 square foot facility that will be available as a center for the arts communities;. The building features space for a children's theatre, the arts center, complete with a formal hanging gallery, and small classrooms that are being proposed for use as satellite beamed university learning centers. The Council has been most supportive in working with the Foundation by previously matching dollar for dollar funds raised for the rebuilding effort. We again ask your support as this third phase.of fundraising efforts begins. HUTCHINS AND OAK STREET Sincerely, 7. Denn s G. Bennett Chairman, Old LUHS Site Foundation / P.O.

Rebuilding the old music building as a home for the Lodi arts community is the next step in the continued development of Hutchins Street Square. This 8,200 square foot two-story facility, located on the northeast corner of the Square, features an intimate theatre with seating for 100 people and adjacent rooms for makeup, dressing, storage and box office. We look for- ward to offering an educational year-round children's theatre in this facility. The Fecond floor, accessed by two open stairways or elevator is well lit and spacious. The north side of the second floor will be used by the Lodi Art Center. In addition to a hang- ing gallery, recreational classes in sketching, painting and ceramics can be offered. The final corners of the second floor will be explored for use as satellite -beamed classrooms for college upper division classes. An enclosed garden patio area on the east side of the building and brick paved walkway will compliment the facility. The estimated cost of rebuilding this facility is $400,000. 3 Fundraising Efforts` Monies to rebuild Hutchins Street Square are raised through A memorial contributions, grants, individual contributions and special events. Last year, the Lodi community raised over $120,000 to retire the near half million dollar property debt. The volunteer labor force needed : to coordinate special events such as Field and Fair Day (September 2, 1985) and "A Night in the Girls' Gym" (December 6, 1985) is stagger- r ing; the shared feeling of hard work and good will from so many com- munity people reflects the spirit of Hutchins Street Square.
