Deanna: Jewett House Serves Purpose

Deanna Goodlander (RE: LastDemoIn Idaho: How about TLC for seniors): Spudbob. if you are referring to the Jewett House, the city received the House and the Beach in front of it with an agreement that it would be used for senior activities. The house is fairly small, but it does get used for card games etc. It's size limits its activities. Of great importance is the fact that the only real public access beach at that end of Sanders is the beach in front of the house. Also last summer the old chicken house at the back was used for growing plant starts for the community garden. There have also been some weddings on the grounds. Abiding by the agreement ensures that all of those uses will remain. The Lake City Center is available for a much more varied use.

Question: Mrs. O & I celebrated our 25th anniversary with dozens of our closest friends at the Jewett House in June 2000. Wonder venue for such things. Have you been to a function at the Jewett House?
