Lingle Hut fund raising meeting set for next week

aShortChronicle previously told readers about efforts underway to restore the Lingle Hut at the Reeves Temple AME Zion Church on Watson Street.

The "Hut" is an historic structure that has fallen into disrepair and needs some significant restoration.  The building had previously served as a fellowship hall and meeting space for the church in the heart of the Westside community.

The effort is being spearheaded by Kurt and Maria Naas of Cornelius. Like all endeavors of this kind, this one requires money.  To date, roughly $8,000 has been raised, but more is needed.  On Thursday July 5th at 6:30pm there will be a fundraising strategy/brainstorming session at the Davidson library.

If you are interested in joining this effort, please plan on attending.
