| The Davis Auditorium Built in 1895 |
Here's a little information as to what has happened so far . . .
The Davis Auditorium will be preserved! Thus was the action of the special called meeting of the Lancaster Camp
Meeting Association on February 17, 2007. When news that the fate of the auditorium would need to be decided
before spring, letters were sent to all association members asking for their responses to this issue if they could
not be at the meeting. Some wonderful replies were received. Over 60 persons expressed their thoughts and
feelings about this awesome decision placed on us. 48 registered voters attended the meeting and decided to
preserve the building. Many thoughtful questions were addressed and several challenges were spoken with deep
intensity and feeling for the future of the camp ground and it’s mission and purpose.
The article in the Eagle Gazette raised considerable interest in the
Lancaster community. The large color picture and accompanying
article in the Columbus Dispatch February 17 created interest all
over the state and prompted phone calls beginning just 2 hours after
the meeting. Great interest has been shown by so many whose life
changing decisions were made in this building and on the Camp
Ground! We will share the growing list of persons with those who
are interested in renewing friendships with the “Camp Ground family.”
An account has been established at the Fairfield County Foundation
so monies received may start earning interest. It is hoped that we will
receive enough to preserve the building and build a sufficient amount
that the interest will continue to provide the monies needed to
maintain the building. The account is, “The Lancaster Camp Ground
Auditorium Preservation Fund”. Some donations have already been received, but we have a long way to go.
A fund raising task force has been established as an extension of the Finance Committee to strategize and
facilitate this awesome and glorious project. The goal was to have it complete by July 29. At the July Annual
Meeting residents voted by majority to continue the fund raising project for an additional 3 years. A Cottage
Owner has been appointed by the Trustees to chair this committee. We have contacted a professional fund raising
team to help the project. And are applying for grants. Let’s pledge and PRAY and help do it together!
Please read 2 Chronicles 7:14-16. Claim the promise!
