Message To
Clinton and
District
Residents
The new Clinton and District
Community Centre is really tak
ing shape these days. Despite
the bad weather the contractor
has managed to keep the work
right op schedule, If you haven’t
been by the site lately I would
suggest you take a drive past it
this week. You will probably be
quite surprised to see how much
of our new Centre js already up, '
The new Centre certainly
going to be an asset to our ‘
Community. Every member of
the family will soon find him
self looking forward to visiting
it, either as a spectator or as
a participant in some function. ,
The many uses of this building
will vary from recreational to
social and educational. We will
now have a modern Centre
which will .be bustling with
' community activity throughout
the,entire year.
i Something we must bear in
mind is that this Centennial
project which we have taken on
is perhaps one of the largest
undertakings the town has ever
entered into. As- citizens of
Clinton, and District we must
hand’ together and form ONE
enthusiastic "body of individuals
who are willing to suffer a
■slight- personal sacrifice right
now, all for the cause of /com
munity betterment and personal
satisfaction to one and- all. This
huge project is not going to be
built with donations of $1,00
and $2.00. It is the donations of
$50.00, $100.00 and $1,000.00
' which will turn it into a fin
ancial success and relieve the
town of a tremendous twenty-
year burden. ' ’
There ‘is one other method
which we would like to present
for your consideration. Did it
ever occur to you that if 500
people .were to each donate
$5.00 per week this building
could be paid for in less than
two years. Bearing in mind that
there are. many more than 500
. households in the town, and by
- spreading the repayment sche
dule over a complete two-year
period,, a weekly amount of
much lesis than $5.00 would1 be'
sufficient to enable us . to com-
"pletely pay for our new Com
munity Centre. , ,
A' system such as this would
save the town as much as $175,-
000.00 on the overall cost-of this
project. Are you, as a citizen of.
Clinton 'willing to undergo this ,
sniall personal sacrifice so that
we ds a community can realize
the personal peace and satis/
faction of a “job vvell done”.
Talk this over with your Mends
and neighbours, and your can-
'Vasser. let’s create a spirit of
. enthusiasm throughout the town
which will remain with us until
this project is completed, “^e’ll
all be glad we did” .
