Grants were looked after by Mark Silverberg, Pam
MacLeod, Betty Farrell, Helen Zoe, Grant Mac Charles
and Bob King:
-
With Health Authority grant Mark Silverberg arranged
for $1000—will work with instructors and see what is
needed from money
-
ACOA -Bob King chaired subcommittee. We received
$14,000.00 which was spent on:

However, when
the lighting needs were finally
determined with the input from Bob
Rudderham, an Electrical Engineer, it
was clear we required more money as they
would cost $65,000.00 and the ACOA 1/3
grant plus the Club's allocated
resources were not enough. A partial
project was not possible since the
system had to be revamped from the meter
onward. There was simply not enough
money. However Pam was able to get
deadline extended beyond March 31, 2010
to Oct.1/2010. $12,000 is put toward
the $65,000 lighting project. We need
grant committee to come up with the rest
of the $65,000
