The building serves multi-purpose uses throughout the year, but its concrete walls and high ceilings make it hard for people to hear each other.
Highland didn't want anyone waking up with a sore throat from straining their voice to be heard.
Highland came up with the idea to install acoustic paneling throughout the building. The sound project is now well underway with help from the rotary club and county agencies.
The rotary club said that with only four panels up so far, the project is already making a difference.
The acoustic paneling will reduce noise reflection by roughly 65%.
"One aspect of showing what rotary can do, you get 60 people together who say, 'Let's find something cool we can help with,' and now we have a project that, if was done custom through a company, would've cost $60,000 or $70,000," Richmond added.
"So this year, in our crab feed on February 1, maybe everyone can sit here and talk to each other," Highland said.
Hilbers, Inc. is a local contracting company that is donating its time and labor to help make this project happen.
