TWELVE MILE COULEE SCHOOL OUTDOOR FITNESS AREA
We continue to work hard to
make the TMC Outdoor Fitness Area a reality and are hoping to complete the
fitness area by September of 2015. Our
project budget is just under $340,000, we have raised about $75,000 in cash and
in kind donations. As we will not have a
casino for another 24 months, and home builders have left the neighborhood, we need
community support to help this project come to fruition.
Our Alberta Government CFEP grant
application has been withdrawn for now under their advisement, until we raise
more funds. It was recommended we apply
for the December 16th – March 15th application deadline, and have a
solid fundraising plan in place. Hon.
Sandra Jansen, MLA has written a letter of support for our next CFEP grant
application to the Minister of Culture, Hon Heather Klimchuk.
The decision for Tuscany
Community Association’s application for the Amateur Sport Grant
through the Parks Foundation Calgary has been tabled until November, at which
time they will determine if we are successful. We have received letters of
support for this project from Amateur Sport organizations, which they were seeking.
This grant has a potential of $125,000 for this project.
Crowfoot COBS Bread doughraiser raised $200 for the 2013-2014 school
year, and will continue to donate 5% of any purchase to this project when you
mention Twelve Mile Coulee school fundraiser at the time of your purchase.
Tuscany Sobeys continues their “add-a-dollar” campaign at their
tills which we will re evaluate in September 2014. To date we have raised $1,627. Thank you for your kind support!
We have received some very
generous donations, and continue to look for more. Thank
you to everyone who has come forward so far and a special thank you to Clara S
for her generous lemonade stand donation.
We will be selling Entertainment
Books from September 3 – 16. Look for
students selling in your area or contact me directly at tmcoutdoorfitnesscommittee@gmail.com if you would
