Raise the Roof
The Raise the Roof project has officially kicked off! The large-back portion of the roof has been re-sheeted and the roofing crews have moved on to the front of the building where things look the most crooked. All the eaves were rebuilt around the entire building, which is where most of the leaking was taking place over the years.
The original clay tile roof from 1904 served the club well, but we've been pushing our luck over the years with waiting to replace it. The membership accepted a bid from West Michigan Roofing for $142,750. In large thanks to the members of the Greater Muskegon Woman's Club, we've raised about $130,000 towards this project. We have been blessed to have one of our members offer to match up to $20,000 of donations that come in during the summer! Now is the time to donate because your dollars will double thanks to one of our very generous and philanthropic members. We understand that these are difficult times, but it is our hope that our community can continue to enjoy this beautiful building and it's many offerings for another 100 years on the most cultural block in downtown Muskegon. Please consider donating a gift in an amount that is impactful to you!
The project will soon be finished and we are forever grateful to our members who continue to support this organization and our entire community. We are looking forward to having a presence on the most cultural block in downtown Muskegon for another 100 years!
