Community
Groups and the Lakewood Masonic Temple
Over the years since 1916 a number of community groups and events have gotten their start at the Lakewood Masonic Temple. The Kiwanis Club of Lakewood was presented its charter at the Temple in 1921 and has met at the Temple all but 16 years since then. West Shore Unitarian Universalist Church’s first services were held at the Temple in 1946. The Lakewood Home Show was first held at the Temple in 1965. The West Shore Assembly of God met at the Temple from 1977 until purchasing their own building in 1999. Lakewood New Life Church's first services were held at the Temple in Fall 2006. There are also old stories and records of Lakewood High School proms and Baldwin Wallace College sorority parties held at the Temple many years ago. This tradition of community use continues. Kiwanis meets every Tuesday at noon in the Banquet Room. Lakewood New Life Church meets in the Ballroom each Sunday morning. The Ballroom is also used for contra dances by the Mud-in-Yer-Eye Band each first Saturday and for swing dances, usually with live bands, by Get Hep Swing each second Friday. The Lakewood Charitable Assistance Corporation's spring cleaning drive and Thanksgiving and Christmas food drives are staged from the Temple each year. The Temple Ballroom and related facilities are customarily open to visitors during downtown Lakewood community events such as Main Street Lakewood's Light Up Lakewood pre-holiday celebration and Lakewood Walk+Roll. There are also many individual events during the year, including receptions, meetings, weddings, socials, and fund raising events.
