The McKinley Park Community Club (official name) was incorporated in 1980 with Lois Dalle-Molle, Lois Alice, Joan Mathews, Vi Eastwood, and Arleta O’Connor serving as incorporating officers. In 1983, the Incorporation papers were modified by President Linda Mellman and officers Joan Adams and Ray Kremer. In the early years Jeff King and Pat O’Connor were available for building maintenance and work

, with Donna Gates scheduling activities. The building itself was built by local carpenters and craftsmen including Ford Reeves, Bill Ruth, Harold Eastwood, and others using a state community development grant. One of the longest serving Presidents of the Club was Bob Shelton, whose tenure was marked by financial prudence and conservatism that provided the necessary funds in a “rainy day account” when needed for major septic system overhaul. His successor, outgoing President Bill Rodwell, will be remembered for the many projects concluded under his direction. Readers are asked to provide additional details and names for this brief history.
