Chris Tanasichuk First, let me give you a recap of the events that took place over the last month. Manitoba Heart & Stroke Big Bike Ride – The ride took place on Saturday, September 17th. Thank you to the 12 riders that took pledges and braved the “not so warm” weather that day. Together we raised $1285.00 for the Heart & Stoke Foundation. 31st Annual Terry Fox Run – The Annual Terry Fox Run took place on Sunday, September 18th. Thank you to the Glenboro School for once again letting us use your facility. I cannot say enough about 4 people that came out that Sunday. They come every year and this year the total of their pledges was $1410.00 with Lynda McPhail Poole raising $1,120 on her own. Perennial Plant Exchange – The plant exchange took place on Saturday, September 24th .Approximately 12 people took part in the exchange and the sale of the extra plants brought in $30 to be used for flowers in the Town Square next year. Thank you to Val at Petals & Presents for letting us host this event in your greenhouse. Zumba & Yoga classes are well underway and I am so glad to see many different participants. Hopefully we can offer another set of these classes in the New Year. The Community Places Grant Applications are now available. I can give you a paper copy or all guidelines and the application form can be found at http://www.gov.mb.ca/housing/cpp/. The Community Places Program provides funding and planning assistance to non-profit community organizations for facility construction, upgrading, expansion or acquisition projects. Eligible projects are those which provide sustainable recreation and wellness benefits to communities. Those eligible to apply are non-profit community organizations throughout Manitoba with the exception of public schools, universities, hospitals, nursing homes, businesses, commercial co-operatives and federal, provincial and City of Winnipeg departments and agencies. Non-profit community organizations can apply to the Program for up to 50% of the first $15,000 of project costs and up to 1/3 of project costs over that amount. The maximum grant is $50,000. The deadline for this application is December 15th, 2011. |
