entitled to use the house and grounds
"at any time. You will find well
equipped community house and
grounds with tepnis courts and a

all members.

was used three hundred and thirty
five times for such gatherings as
socials. dances, card parties, suppers,
school class socials, festivals, tourna-
ments and various meetings. Large
family reunions of old Berlin fam
lilies have found the Worthington
Community Center an ideal meeting
place. Organizations such as the d.
A. r., Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Mems
Bible class, G. A. R. veterans, World
War veterans, Women's Aid, Mother
hood club. Literary society Lo-Hi
club, Y. M. C. A., American Legion
and Worthington Athletic club have
met at the Worthington Community |
Center.
THE Worthington Community Cen |

but there are expenses such as taxes,
repairs, light and heat which have to
be met by funds raised at socials and
through the voting membership.
Every resident should take an interest

grounds and by becoming voting
