condition. I am so sorry that it went this far and the old building was closed <br />in early February of this year. I personally, have been saddened by this. <br />This building is very special to me and to many who live in the area, as well <br />as some who don't. Being a lover of older wooden homes such as Florida <br />CRACkER HOUSES, (as I have owned two of them and continue to reside in <br />such), it is important that we work to get this building fixed and in use as <br />soon as possible, as it is not healthy for an old building to sit empty, nor for <br />a healthy community to be without its Community Building. <br />AS a resident and lover of the Roseland area, I can tell you that I am in <br />favor of getting this building repaired as soon as possible. If the county will <br />help in getting it repaired so that we can "safely" occupy it, the Roseland <br />Women's Club, can again get back to business of caring for it while further <br />future repairs continue. As it is, we can't use the building at all, and I feel <br />we have lost important time.. <br />I have rented the building for approximately fourteen years, every Thursday <br />for the purpose of conducting the Roseland Music Jam,( in an effort to keep <br />a certain traditional music alive and to give folks a source of <br />entertainment). We play music the entire year, and seldom have missed a <br />Thursday. Most of our players (during season) are tourists who rent homes <br />or own homes in and around this area and nearby counties. They frequent <br />our business facilities, dine in our restaurants and return year after year,as <br />they want to play music in our jam sessions. "Off season" in the summer, <br />we don't have as many attending, but still we have enough to keep it going. <br />I keep the jams listed in the Newspaper Community Calendar and the <br />Chamber also lists it on Fridays. Everyone seems to love coming here and it <br />is "different" (very rural and laid back) . They tell me the setting of our <br />building on Bay Street, along the riverside,is perfect and a big draw for our <br />music group as well as those who rent the building for other occassions, <br />wedding, anniversaries, family reunions etc. <br />You cannot believe the compliments Roseland receives from these visitors. <br />z <br />
