The first Cherryville Community Hall was built in 1934; this marked the beginning of the Cherryville Community Club, which became a registered society in May, 1961. The founding directors were Joseph Myers, Charlie Sihlis, Joyce Sihlis, Sid Draper and Ruth Sihlis.
The objects of the society were and are (as reproduced, in part, from the society's bylaws):

To engage in work of an educational, cultural and recreational nature.Since 1961 too many people to name have carried on and maintained the Cherryville Community Club. It has run without disruption since it began - quite an achievement for a small community. The Club is caretaker of the wonderful Cherryville Community Hall and community park, Hanson Park, both of which would make any community, large or small, proud to have in their community or town. Cherryville remains a very strongly-knit community with residents displaying endless amounts of enthusiasm and willingness to get involved. The club hosts the annual Cherryville Days celebration every year.
Monthly meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month at 7:30 p.m. at the Cherryville Community Hall which is at the corner of North Fork & Specht Roads. Although a nominal annual membership fee of $1.00 is required, every member of the community is invited and welcomed to meetings.
