Originally known as the Soldiers' Home, it was created in 1865 along with two others (Milwaukee, WI, and Tongas, ME) to provide a place where soldiers returning from the Civil War could rest and heal their mental and physical wounds. The soldiers, at the urging of one of the doctors, created the Grotto in the old quarry. It contained beautiful gardens, lakes, and a spectactular arched entry, all designed to provide a peaceful place to reflect and heal. It became a major attraction for the community with events to showcase the beautiful gardens created by the veterans. Over time, neglect and funding allowed the Grotto to deteriorate. About 5 years ago, members of our organization and the community began the process of restoring the Grotto to its original beauty and tranquility. It is once again a community attraction and a place of healing for our veterans with severe injuries and PTSD. 11398 37726 The Garden Party has been a major summer event for the past two years. Held in the historic Grotto, it is a community event financed by the community through sponsorships and purchases of tickets for the dinner. It has a history theme with many of the participants dressed in period clothes. There is also a small play/skit that portrays an important local event of the time. 7876 11100 The Patriot Freedom Festival is held each year on the Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. It is a community event open to all with no charge for admission. It has a military theme with reenactors providing encampments that were typical of past wars, a valuable history lesson for all. Obviously, there is a strong Civil War overtone since the VA Campus is a direct result of that war and the desire of President Lincoln to provide a home for returning soldiers to heal from their wounds. Approximately 10,000 people attend the event each year. 5355 9449 44164 true false false false false false false false false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false 0 0 false 0 false false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 17 0 false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false X X Everett Odgers 9372712459 4001 Sable Ridge Drive Bellbrook OH 45305 X Harry Seifert Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Clapper Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karla Garrett Hershaw Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Judd Platenberg Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Edward Mechanbier Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kathy Hayes Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mark Conrad Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cindy Lapointe-Dafler Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Walter Harrison Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Gower Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Ferguson Trustee 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Everett Odgers Treasurer 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Honorable Walter H Rice President 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dennis Samic Vice President 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dave Neuhardt Secretary 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jim Snyder Vice President 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Kruckmeyer President 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 26524 26524 5k Race Fees 5315 5315 Garden Party 5998 5998 Grotto 8625 8625 Patriot Freedom Festival 4439 4439 Program Service Fees 52046 52046 76423 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1012 106 906 906 0 103853 77329 X 0 0 0 250 250 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 600 600 0 0 0 482 142 340 2868 2868 2590 2590 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 41 41 1831 1831 Grotto Expenses 19535 19535 Garden Party 11732 11332 400 PFF Expenses 8918 7873 1045 Chapel Organ Restoral 8432 8432 15376 5032 5607 4737 72655 44164 23354 5137 53957 84831 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 470 470 41 0 0 0 0 0 8685 7571 62683 92402 0 0 X 62683 92402 62683 92402 62683 92402 31198 -1479 X false false false X 175 10178 17186 13258 13019 53816 0 0 0 0 175 10178 17186 13258 13019 53816 0 0 53816 0 0 0 0 175 10178 17186 13258 13019 53816 1.00000 0.00000 X 470 470 Accounts Receivable Inventories for sale or use 7571 Land & Building 7571 Form 990, Part III, Line 4d: Other Program Services Description OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Other Programs/Services Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process No review was or will be conducted.
