Presenting the check to Kiwanis President Carl Weber, second from left, is Jean Weber, left, Dan Grothouse and Barb Kline of Delphos Parks. The new 3,440 square foot shelter house will be built on the east side of the tennis courts near North Street. The existing structure, which has been in place for many years and in need of extensive work will be removed. The new shelter house will have a complete kitchen, restrooms and indoor seating for 128 and outdoor seating for 48. Heating and cooling will allow the shelter house to be available for rent from the city year round. The Kiwanis currently have around $200,000 raised of its $480,000 goal for the new shelterhouse.
