Croatian Energy, page 5
The grand opening of the Croatian Lodge Home in 1925 in Aberdeen, Washington. The large hall was jointly owned by the Croatian Fraternal Union Lodges 271 and 323. Important as center for varied cultural activities, the hall boasted one of the finest dance floors in the Northwest. Most of the well-known big bands played there during its heyday. With the changing times and a decline in the Croatian population, the hall no longer sustained its purpose.

In 1923 the name of the organization was changed to Slavonic Mutual and Benevolent Society. In March of 2004 the Board of Directors of the Slavonic Cultural Center and the Slavonic Mutual and Benevolent Society of San Francisco voted unanimously to change the name to Croatian American Cultural Center.

Just a comment on Ek Spahich's commentary...The Croatian Islamic Centre in Toronto was built by Croatians of the Islamic faith and not by "Bosnians", hence the former name, Croatian Islamic Centre. This project was also realized thanks in large part to financial support from various Croatian catholic parishes throughout North America as well as their parishioners.

I am a grandson of Martin (Marin) A. Petrich from Starigrad who came with his parents (Juraj/George Petrich & Catherine Budrovich of Hvar) to the US in 1887. I am working on a history of shipyards and boatbuilding on the West Coast of the US centered on the Northwest and the Dalmatian families of Babare (Hvar), Martinolich (Losinj), Skansich/Skansie (US spelling), Petrich (Starigrad), Martinac (Brac) and, in Los Angeles, Rados. The developed the purse seine fishing boat.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who would lie contact.
