Ephrata Recreation Center company history timeline

1951

The Ephrata Recreation Center was founded in 1951, as a not-for-profit corporation to provide recreational services at a reasonable cost.

1955

The first meeting for the election of officers of the "Friendly Club" was in 1955 with chairman Charles Ward, vice chairman Herb Atkins and secretary/treasurer Ethel Buck.

1967

March 6, 1967, the Washington Secretary of State approved the articles of Incorporation as a 501.3c non-profit organization.

1975

Things went rather smoothly until the Fall of 1975 when they were asked to leave their "Home" by Christmas time.

1977

In January 1977, Mabel Thompson was named Director of the Senior Center and the Friendly Club flourished as never before.

Sometime in 1977 it became apparent that the Senior Center was growing and the ERC was no longer adequate.

1978

The dedication of the building was May 20, 1978 at 3 PM. Bob Smock of Peoples Bank in Ephrata gave the dedication speech.

For the first 27 years the Center occupied an old Amory on Cloister Avenue, and in 1978 it moved to its present location.
