In 1968, after the Charter was set the members all decided to make the meeting spot a better place; therefore they remodeled the basement of the Community Center. The Ruritans needed ways to make money for the club. So, in 1969, they caught a big break when Carlton Haney opened the Camp Springs Bluegrass Park. The members earned money by parking cars and selling tickets. During the course of the year 1970, the membership grew so much that the meetings had to be held upstairs in the Community Center to accommodate all the members. In the early 1970's a man by the name of John Miller of Berryville, VA. opened a new bluegrass park where the members worked for funds for several years. In 1973, plans for a new building were brought up to accommodate the growing Ruritan. But there was just one problem; money. A terrific idea was brought up to build a ball field to collect money. In the years 1973 - 1974, the Cherry Grove Ballpark was built, and enough money was earned to build a new meeting place for the Ruritans. In 1975, the Cherry Grove Ruritan Building was complete. Around the year 1980, another fundraiser was available, this being the Bass Mountain Bluegrass Park where members could work two weekends a year to earn funds. Also, the Farm Equipment Sale was revived again in 1998 as another fundraiser. A club would not be able to succeed without a President and here is a list of those served:
