Kalamazoo, Mich., Lodge Plans Extensive Remodeling of Its Home

Kalamazoo, Mich., Lodge No. 50 plans extensive remodeling of its present quarters. Originally an entirely new building was considered, but as the location now occupied is more ideal than any that can be purchased, and as part of the present building is comparatively new, it was finally decided to tear down the old part, that fronting the street, and to rebuild it with a splendid facade, extending the more modern part thirty feet to the rear. Among the features to be incorporated will be six bowling alleys, sufficient to hold a State tournament, enlarged billiard room, new reception and reading-rooms a cafeteria, and a dance-hall that will be ample in size. The present beautiful Lodge Room will remain substantially unchanged except that it will be lengthened thirty feet. The cost of the remodeling is expected to be about $100,000 financed directly by the membership. A selective campaign for new members will be carried on by the Lodge this winter.
