The roof of the Community League Plaza is now being installed. It is a striking and beautiful design that all the crew at the site are proud to be working on. As an umbrella organization for the 160 community leagues, the EFCL also provides shelter to its member community leagues in the form of advocacy.
The winds of change sometimes bring forward potential policies that might have negative impacts on the health and well being of leagues. In 1953, the EFCL and its then-44 member Leagues rallied together against a proposed government ban on bingos and lotteries being used as fundraisers. Their efforts were successful and have allowed this revenue to still be an important resource for leagues.
Lottery and casino fundraising is something the EFCL continues to advocate for and ensure it is retained for the Leagues of today and for the Leagues of the future. These are some of the important moments in history that will be captured on a timeline display at the plaza.
