Community Center
How to find us
The WACO office in the Center may be reached on 495-6633. If you need access (outside of scheduled meetings/events) please
call/email Norm Wakeman to make an appointment (number below).
In the last two years the center has been completely refurbished. New paint, carpet, stage curtains, roof and exterior siding (June 2007).
Rear of Center facing north
The rear of the Center has the picnic area and pavilion, a children’s play area with climbing equipment and a volley ball court.

Stage Renovation
Renovation is now complete, thanks to an anonymous donation for new curtains,
help from Spenards Builders Supply and labor from many volunteers. While this
picture does not do the stage justice, it does show the Tai Kwon Do team at the 2007
Carnival
