Having a great community space is an essential aspect to every town. This particular community space is being done in partnership with the Hughes Library, a 501(c)(3) public library, which opens up all kinds of interesting opportunities. The goal of the Hughes Memorial Union is to enrich the community while honoring the original intentions of our donors. Along with a meeting space, free of charge, the Hughes Memorial Union has The Local and The Wellness Collective. The Local is your neighborhood shop filled with local meat, fresh locally baked bread and sweets along with crafts and creations all available for purchase with 90% of the proceeds returned to the vendor. The Wellness Collective is the space above The Union dedicated to health and wellbeing with weekly classes by various local practicioners open to the public. The teachers contribute 10% of their proceeds to the overall mission.
