Summary
Historically, Sandhills Community League (SCL) was a very active community league hosting numerous events, weddings, reunions and tournaments. For the past few years the SCL was in a stagnant stage with few board members and a limited number of activities happening at the hall. A new board has recently stepped up and they are looking to revive the SCL back into the active community center that it once was. SCL’s new board is committed to maintaining their facilities and planning for the future and have created a priority list for hall maintenance using the 2019 Facility Condition Assessment Report as a guideline.
SCL have identified areas of preventative maintenance and safety of focus for 2021; the replacement of shingles, cement walkways, lighting, siding, parking lot and fence repairs.
