Chamber names member of the month

PULLMAN — The Gladish is named the Pullman Chamber of Commerce member of the month for January.

The Gladish is a community and cultural center at 115 NW State Street in Pullman.

The organization Friend of Gladish grew to more than 150 members to donate $150,000 in 1996 to buy the building, according to a chamber spokesperson.

“Today the Gladish Community and Cultural Center is bustling with energy as it serves the community in many ways with everything from day care facilities, Montessori School, Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse, and dance studios to roller derby activities,” stated the spokesperson. “Public spaces are in demand for many different occasions.”

The Friends of Gladish is a non-profit organization. The continued maintenance and development of the building is an ongoing expense and they are seeking donations to keep this open.
