At that time a number of persons signed pledges, which allowed for the payment of their dona- tions when the project commenced. To date most of these pledges have been honored, but there are still a few out- standing. If you pledged a donation, won't you HELP us NOW, as the project is almost completed. ore Donations Are Still Required • At the time of the public canvass of the community, a number of people indicated they would make a donation when the project got under way. Any further donations from these people will be greatly appreciated at this time. Where You Missed During The Canvass? • Perhaps you were away when the canvasser called at you home some time ago asking for donations to the Arena and Community Centre fund. If, by chance you were missed, the committee in charge would greatly appreciate any help you might be able to give at this time. Any gift, however small or large, will be gratefully accepted. • There will be no further canvass of the entire area on a door-to-door basis, but the committee would like to raise $5,000 through this public appeal! Won't you help to reach this objective? Donations may be left at the BANK OF MONTREAL, ZURICH Persons outside the area may remit cheques to: Arena Building Fund, care of Bank of Montreal, Zurich.
