The Vermilion-on-the-Lake Lot Owners Association no longer owns the "Clubhouse". In 2006, the Association formed the Vermilion on the Lake Historic Community Center Charitable Trust, Inc. and transferred the property to the Trust by vote of the entire membership. Our revised mission includes community service, involvement in the security of the area through our "Block Watch" program and other initiatives, and the general promotion of the well being of the neighborhood and city.  Our Trustees also act as the core Trustees for the VOLHCC Charitable Trust.  The VOL Lot Owners Association acknowledges and thanks the Lorain County Historical Society for the guidance and support they afforded us while we transitioned the property to the Charitable Trust.  We could not have done it without them.

The Vermilion-on-the-Lake Historic Community Center Charitable Trust is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation formed under the laws of the State of Ohio as a service organization.  Besides the restoration and operation of the Historic Community Center, our mission includes providing a venue for community fellowship and discussion, as well as providing education to our citizens about the history and culture of our area. We hope to emphasize the historic nature of our unique building and encourage the businesses and foundations tasked with preserving our heritage, to lend a hand in restoring the Historic Community Center to its once glorious condition.

Volunteering:  We are a 100% volunteer run organization.  No employees.  No payroll.  All funds go directly to operation, restoration, repair and upkeep, or to promote additional fundraising efforts.
