About Us

The George Washington Coffeehouse is sponsored by the board of directors of the George Community Hall.
We aim to make great live acoustic music available to the Columbia Basin.

The George Community Hall exists for the benefit and enjoyment of George, Washington residents and the Columbia Basin at large. Its purpose and function is to provide a place where community events and social gatherings can comfortably occur.

The overarching mission of the George Community Hall is to educate residents and visitors alike in the fine art of cultural participation, not only in the broad sense as Americans, but more specifically, as those who identify themselves with the inclusive, rural-agricultural, ethnically diverse economy here in Central Washington State. It is our intention to encourage everyone in our area to be an active, positive participant in all aspects of the life of this community.

We are operating with the recognition that interdependent human flourishing does not happen in a vacuum; nor does it happen by accident or artificial contrivance. It happens in community.

Consequently, our organization places a very high value on volunteerism, and on the promotion and encouragement of creative cultural enrichment; we aim for the outcome of a tangible sense of continuity of traditional small-town community life. We are happy when we hear residents say, "I like this town!" and when young people who have grown up here, return to stay.

Our motto - "If you believe that something is impossible,
Please do not interfere with those who are doing it!

The George Community Hall is a non-profit organization and the facility is available for private rentals. Please see the "George Community Hall" page for more details.
