According to Club President Emily Lisska, a group from Mandarin formed a Liberty League, which assisted with war efforts and other patriotic services and events. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe are proud of the longevity of our organization,\u201d Lisska said. \u201cIt\u2019s still such a timely story, of the village, or community, of Mandarin supporting certainly the most profound event at the time, known then as the \u2018Great War.\u2019\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lisska recounted that as the Great War ended in 1918, this patriotic group\u2019s purpose suddenly was gone. The members enjoyed being together and were also now being asked to help with other community issues. So, although it took nearly five years, the Mandarin Community Club officially formed in July 1923 with the same officers as the prior Liberty League. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The organization is not to be confused with the Mandarin Community Club building located on Mandarin Road, which was actually Mandarin\u2019s school at the time. Lisska said that in 1936 the school closed and that is when the building was given to the Mandarin Community Club organization by Edwin Jones and Carrmina Jones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere is a lot of history now to that building,\u201d Lisska said. \u201cBut it started with a lot of history as it was more than half a century old by the time the building was given to the Mandarin Community Club organization.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This historic building was the site of the club\u2019s special anniversary celebration, which was themed a silent film night to reflect the time of the original founding. On July 27, community members came out to view three silent films, called \u201cshorts\u201d due to their length, that featured Buster Keaton. Live music enhanced the films, just like the old days. The event was coordinated by events chair, Ellen Milligan, a Ramsgate resident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt really was heartwarming to see such a great turnout for our special event,\u201d Lisska said. \u201cIt was a really fun evening with families and children. Everyone enjoyed hot dogs and movie candy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, the Mandarin Community Club hosts a variety of events for members and the community over the course of each year, including a tree giveaway, an official U.S. Flag Retirement Ceremony, and a tribute to veterans in November. The Mandarin Community Club also hosts the annual Mandarin Art Festival on Easter weekend and cosponsors the Third Thursday Lecture Series with the Mandarin Museum and Historical Society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information, visit their website, www.mandarincommunityclub.org or call the Club office (268-1622)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Photo courtesy Bernie Gross<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There was a large turnout for the Mandarin Community Club\u2019s 95th anniversary celebration, a silent movie night held at the club building on Mandarin Road.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Martie Thompson editor@floridanewsline.com It was a different era in many ways when the precursor to the organization now known as the Mandarin Community Club was first formed back in 1917 \u2014 it was just prior to the United States entering what is now known as World War I.
