Welcome!

Slater Hall Citizens Committee formed in 2005, for the purpose of working to revitalize historic Slater Hall. We meet monthly, third or fourth Thursdays, at 7pm, at the Senior Action Center next to Slater Hall. Our meetings are open to the public. Our 501c3 status is currently pending.

As a committee we plan and facilitate community events, and funding raised goes toward renovation of the building. Slater Hall is owned by Greenville County Recreation District and we are working collaboratively towards our goal of reopening the Hall.

Slater is an historic mill village in northern Greenville County, a few miles south of the Blue Ridge Escarpment. The village began to be built in the late 1920's. Slater Hall was constructed in 1931. It is one of the few remaining mill-related structures in upstate South Carolina.

There are a few basic structural needs to be met before the building can be open again. Our projected date of completion, to re-open the building, is June 2009. The 40th anniversary of Apollo 11 will be a significant date, as employees of Slater Mill contributed to the lunar space flight through the manufacture of space suit material.

Our current meeting dates as scheduled for 2008 are:
January 31
February 28
March 27
April 24
May 29
June 26
July 24
August 28
September 25
October 23
November 20
December 18

We had a booth at the annual Strawberry Festival, held on the grounds of Slater Hall,  on Saturday, May 17th, 2008.

A benefit for Slater Hall was held on the grounds, Saturday, June 14th, featuring local music and food vendors.

The 2nd Annual Slater Hall Veterans Day Car Show will be held on Saturday, November 8th, 2008, from 10am to 3pm. Registration for Classic Car owners is $10. The event will include entertainment from DJ Benny Whitten and food from local vendors.

Our officers for 2008:
Chair, Joe Wojeck
Co-chair, Karen Cleveland
Treasurer, Jocelyn Wojeck
