The Metal Club has experienced many improvements in the facility in the past year thanks to the efforts of many of the talented members. Ralph Staples and Mike Loiselle, retired professional painters, have spent many hours In the past year painting a significant portion of the building and display boards giving the SCW Metal Club a new fresh appearance.

Special thanks to Katie Van Leuven, Village Store Supervisor, for the excellent article on the SCW Metal Club in the December Issue of the Rec Center News. Katie did a fine job of interpreting the mission, activities and programs of the Club.
