(KAIR)--A meeting, focused on the future of Atchison's Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, is set for later this month, as Atchison County, and other associated leaders, work together to keep the doors open.

3rd District Atchison County Commissioner and Commission Chair, Casey Quinn, during the May 2 93.7 FM "Atchison County First Friday Update," says the alarm was raised following a March meeting of the Memorial Hall Board of Trustees when financial shortfalls were discovered.

The meeting to address Memorial Hall's future is set for Tuesday, May 13 at 12 noon with County Commissioners, Rec Commission representatives, Memorial Hall Trustees, and Atchison- City Manager Mark Westhoff.

Quinn says, as she looks toward Tuesday's meeting, she's hopeful that a solution will be found.

The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hall, located at 819 Commercial Street, in Atchison, serves as the headquarters for the Atchison Recreation Commission and is the location of many of their programs, as well as other local events and activities.

The structure was built in 1922 to honor veterans lost in WWI, as well as all veterans since that time.
