“The Langley Community Club will discuss its own demise when members meet Monday, Sept. 24.Ethel Waters, a long-time club volunteer, said the public is welcome to attend the meeting and offer to help so the club won’t have to end its activities.We’re trying to smoke out young blood, Waters said.The club has been active in the community for many years, and still has a fair-sized bank account. Its largest donation in history was made last month when it contributed $10,818 to purchase a generator for the Brookhaven senior citizens community.The club was formed in 1967 under the leadership of such community stalwarts as Hazel Clyde, Walt Hunziker, Lloyd Smith, Dorothy Cleveland, Rev. Frank Goodnough and Virginia Price.Through the years its membership has changed, but the club kept true to its charter, to exist for the betterment of the community of Langley.But now, its days could be numbered.Sadly, due to diminishing attendance and the inability to find volunteers to fill offices, the club is faced with dissolution, said Waters. A final decision is expected after the Sept. 24 meeting, a quarterly potluck which begins at 6:30 p.m. at Brookhaven Hall.It is hoped that there may be a few of you who will be willing and dedicated enough to continue the vision, said Waters.The Community Club’s biggest initial backers were Bud and Margaret Waterman who donated the lot at Second and Anthes to the club. The South Whidbey Record built an office there and leased it from the Community Club for many years. When The Record moved across the street to the Porter Building, the Community Club sold the lot. The lot is now the site of Langley Park.Money from the sale of the lot was placed into mutual funds, and the interest has provided scholarships, donations and many improvements around town.Beneficiaries of the funds have included the Langley Police Department, Fire Department and library. The post office patio and landscaping was paid for by the club, as well as other landscaping and benches that beautify the community.New members would not have to raise funds. Needed are volunteers who are willing to serve in office or on the executive board, which decides where to spend the funds for the betterment of the community.Annual membership fee is $2, which can be paid prior to the Sept. 24 meeting. Anyone with questions may call Ethel Waters, secretary/treasurer, at 221-6590. “
