A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
too

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
too

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
too

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
too

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
too

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
too

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
too

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
too

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
too

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time

A Memorial Auditorium website with a direct link
from the City of Wellington website
(wwwcityofwellingtonnet) will be completed
this winter
The Memorial Auditorium was built in 1922 with tax dol-
lars for $150000 to honor Word War I veterans for those
who gave their lives and risked their lives for
Democracy
The picture below was believed to be taken in late May or
sometime in June of 1922 It shows the Masonic corner-
stone being placed during a public ceremony The Library
is shown in the background and the building to the south is
what for years was City Hall which was where
Heritage park is today
Following this ceremony in the dark of the night the stone
disappeared and was never found Thus the building has no
cornerstone
In July of 1922 the City Commission ordered from the
American Seating Co 1250 seats for the balconies and 600
folding chairs for the arena for a total of $6500 The build-
ing was declared finished and dedicated open to public use
in an elaborate ceremony in November of 1922
Herelsquos a tradition that will put your little elves to
work and in the process redirect their preholiday
energy towards giving as well as getting We will
make a special holiday craft and enjoy snack time
