The group conducted its quarterly meeting in the auditorium to show its support for the facility.  
 
Members of the Missouri Alliance for Historic Preservation came away “impressed” after holding a meeting in the Lexington Municipal Auditorium on Saturday.

That’s what alliance member Abigail Tempel — also a member of the city’s Auditorium Commission — told City Councilmen during Tuesday night’s meeting at City Hall.

Tempel said the 20 members walked away from their quarterly meeting with an “extremely favorable” view of the building, along with the city itself.

“They wanted to extend their thanks to the city for allowing them to have the meeting in the auditorium,” said Tempel. “The members were impressed with the facility and its potential, and how stable it was.”
