Hello Clubbies, Friends, Lovers and Associates

As of the date of this receipt the above-mentioned organization is a current and valid 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in accordance with the standards and regulations of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Goodrich Club, Inc.
401 East Porter St.
Albion, MI 49224

EIN: 92-1471818

Funds donated to The Goodrich Club, Inc. are passed through Stripe to a special Alumni Fund bank account.

The funds are accessible by the current club President, but it is understood that these funds are for maintaining the house. Draws from the account must have Board of Directors approval.

So, you may not know that the Pandemic almost killed The Goodrich Club.

If not for a few resident members efforts, it would have collapsed. Further contributing to the state of things was the evaporation of the Board of Directors.

A group of us, back in 2022, in town to celebrate one of our generation receiving a distinguished alumni award from the college, visited the house to say hello and play some four-square.

Upon learning the state of the house, we set some things in motion leading to a resurrected annual alumni meeting during that Fall’s Albion Homecoming weekend.

A group of us further engaged to create a new board of directors.

As first mentioned, the house is in need. It survived the pandemic, but barely. With the campus dispersed, the house got by with a very low resident membership base that could only really keep the basic bills paid… Sort of.

Their has been no funds for the physical maintenance and the old house needs some basic work… The kitchen bathroom, unusable as the floor rotted out from years of water dripping, is one of a few significant re-hab projects that need to happen.

So, any little bit will help and we will make sure that it goes towards the house and not a keg.
