UPDATE ON CAPITAL CAMPAIGN AND REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT 2008
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Our present support has come from about 100 very generous member
and non-member families who have cottages in the area. The Club
is truly indebted and grateful to them. Contributions have ranged
from a few hundred dollars to over $10,000. It is important
to have as many supporters as possible, and all contributions
are welcomed. Potential donors are asked to contact the Commodore Mike Scott, about donation opportunities, at
204-489-2332 (phone)
or mcscott@shaw.ca
REDEVELOPMENT
PROJECT
The construction of the new clubhouse is completed. Ten
new sailboats comprising 7 – Club 420's and 3 - Optis were purchased
as well as a 29er, to add to our fleet of 5 Vanguard Prams. This brings
our fleet to an enviable position and is now well equipped for
our sailing program and to meet the training and competition
needs of our many young sailors.
We also expanded our Summer Fun program for children
4 to 7 years and provided our youth with swimming Instruction,
tennis lessons, boating safety, crafts, movies and other activities.
In addition, our new facilities allowed
us to expand our social and recreational programs for adults
and is a source of pride and pleasure for all to visit and enjoy.
However with all of these great programs and events comes the need to look once again at our dock situation. With the increase in activity and membership the docks are no longer satisfactory and need to be reinforced and added on to.
