Jodi Schott, Managing Director of the Pritchard-Laughlin Civic Center, informed club members of new services being offered. The Civic Center, located on Glenn Highway west of Cambridge, opened 18 years ago. Jody has worked at the Center for 12 years.

Most Rotary club members were aware that Pritchard-Laughlin was available for all types of events ranging from wedding receptions and cooking shows to theatrical productions such as the Variety series. “Use of the facility has increased. Two hundred twenty-five events are already scheduled for this year. That is up from a previous high of 175 events in one year,” Jodie reported.

Jodi pointed out that this year staff is working to expand the services the Center offers by developing the outside area. A pergola is being built on the grounds at the rear of the building. The pergola will provide a picturesque setting for weddings and other events. The lawn around the pergola will be perfect for tents to be erected.
