Ballroom Lights. |
In October 2014, eight new energy efficient, period appropriate chandeliers were installed by D.E.I.R. Electric. They added new elegance to our Ballroom that had been sorely lacking. They also seemed to breathe new life into the membership, as a new sense of pride and excitement surfaced about the Club and the Clubhouse.

For a long time, the Greater Muskegon Woman's Club has wanted to update the lights in the Ballroom. The old lights, which had been installed sometime before the 1960s were not period appropriate for our historic 1902 Edwardian building. They also were not energy efficient, and very soon the incandescent light bulbs they required were no longer going to be made. That's why we applied for a grant from the Community Foundation for Muskegon County. We were honored and delighted when our grant request was approved!

We would like to thank the Louis E. Jr. and Ann J. Eklund Renewable Energy Fund of the Community Foundation for Muskegon County, D.E.I.R. Electric, and everyone who donated financially or with their time to this project for making this possible.
