The Glen Lake Woman’s Club has been maintaining the chapel by funding improvements and beautifying the area around the chapel for decades. Marcia Rose, previous co-chair of the Chapel maintenance and rentals, states that chairs and benches were added, and the ceiling and windows were painted in 1967.
In 1973, shutters were added to the windows; and, in 2019, the chairs were repainted. In 2021, the pulpit was donated by a church in Bellaire. Current chair of the Chapel Garden committee, Carolyn Wollenhaupt, has volunteered on the Chapel Garden Committee for over 18 years.
“These hard working gals cleared winter leaves, planted new plants and added mulch to get the Chapel grounds pictureperfect ready for special summer events,” Wollenhaupt said.
Old Settlers Park is located on the southeastern shore of Glen Lake, on South Dunns Farm Road (County Road 675). Early settlers established it as a picnic ground in 1892. The Chapel is available for use with reservations coordinated by the Glen Lake Woman’s Club on a first come, first served basis from May 15-October 31st. It has a capacity of 50-70. To book an event, meeting, or wedding, contact Cathy Weissblatt of the Glen Lake Women’s Club at (203) 243-6158. Registration forms are also available on the Club website at glenlakewomansclub. org
