Gym Fundraisers Coming Your Way!

During the month of June and perhaps beyond, volunteer canvassers will be coming door to door in our neighborhood seeking donations in support of our new Gymnasium addition. 

Yes, the Gym project is mostly funded, as you may have read before - but it's not completely funded. We still require $250,000 to meet our plan. So far we've raised approximately $20,000 towards that goal, and we have more to do. The gym is built only once, so we want to make certain it includes all the necessary features for our community for many years to come.

If you have a visit from one of our canvassers (easily recognizable by their badge, similar to the image above), please consider giving them a donation. They're tax free and you'll see benefits to the community as soon as it opens next year. As well donators will be recognized by a permanent display inside the gym. If you own a business, please consider making a donation in its name. 

Finally, we're seeking addiitonal canvassers who believe in the community and want to make a difference. If you have time and interest, please contact LWCC President Nazir Ahmed at 489-1780.

Gym Plans Available For Viewing

Last night's open house at the Community Centre was a success; many residents dropped by to view architectural sketches of the new gymnasium addition and to ask the on-hand architects questions regarding the design. In the image above, Cindy examines one of the many large-format posters showing views of the new gym. 

The posters have not been taken down yet and are still on the walls of the Community Centre building at 414 Lindenwood Drive West for public viewing. If you're wondering what the site will look like, or what's going to be inside the building, feel free to drop by and take a look.

President's Comments: New Gymnasium Capital Fund Campaign

The March 5th, 2010 funding announcement for the expansion of Linden Wood Community Centre (LWCC) was the culmination of nine months hard work by the board. The announcement is welcome news as well as a challenge. It is welcome, as it will enable LWCC to proceed with its long overdue expansion plans and a challenge, as the community must raise its part of the capital contribution by June 30, 2010.

Our Gymnasium is Coming!

At long last, after many years of effort by many volunteers, our Community Centre has finally been granted approval and funding to construct a full-size gymnasium on our property. With incredible last minute assistance from the Federal Government and the City of Winnipeg, we’ve managed to secure the bulk of the finances required to construct the new facility. Between the two levels of government and a contribution from the Province, some $2.521M has been allocated to our project.
 
The new gymnasium will be generously featured and include not only a full-size sports area, but also a stage on which will appear many events in future years. You can read more about the project at a new website specially made to keep you up to date on the latest construction information. 
 
While we’ve acquired the majority of the funds required to complete the job, there is an amount left that we must raise ourselves. Over the past few years the community centre has been able to raise $250,000 through various programs, but we still need approximately $350,000 to complete the project. Our fundraising program will be announced very soon, and you may find details at the new gym project website
 
Thanks to all who have worked on this project over the past 10+ years! The big work is yet to come.
