Fundraising CONTINUES!!!!

Family movie night has come and gone raising $200.00 for our park in Fort Augustus! Everyone in attendance seemed to have a really good time and enjoyed the movie!

Last night was our Wine and Cheese evening with Margie Carmicheal Scotto and what a show she put on with Eddie accompanying her on guitar and fiddle! We raised another $252.00 at this event!

Next up is our Spaghetti Supper on Sunday October 3rd, 2010. Admission for this is $10.00 per person or $25.00 per family! Tickets are selling like hot cakes and looks like it should be another great evening. We will also be incorporating a penny auction in this event! Some prizes we have accumulated thus far are : a model airplane, a reflexology, some baskets of pickles and preserves, and I am sure we will have a few more items by Sunday! So come out to the Fort Augustus Rec. Center for a fun family evening, beginning at 4pm! Hope to see you all there!!!

UPCOMING EVENTS

The Heritage Park has been working very hard the past few weeks to make our dreams of a playground at Heritage Park a reality. Lots of meetings on designing the perfect playground and adult exercise equipment. We finally have a finished design and will be moving on to the next step this week...a construction meeting so we know all that is involved with the build. We have also been meeting with lots of organizations about fundraising and the need for volunteers on the day of the build. Everyone we have spoken with seems quite receptive to such an ambitious undertaking.

So to keep our dreams alive we are still fundraising as we have a ways to go yet...
