GLASLYN — The Glaslyn Recreation Board and countless volunteers announce that, after four years of fundraising, they have just started construction on the Glaslyn Community Centre to fix the wooden arch rib supports.
This year the Glaslyn Rec Board held four major fundraisers. They were the Glaslyn Community Lotto, the Cody Prevost/Bruin dinner, concert and silent auction, Drive a Ford For Your Community, held in conjunction with Novlan Bros. Sales out of Paradise Hill, and the Glaslyn Days annual ball tournament and dance.
Along with the fundraising, generous donations have come from local clubs and businesses and the Glaslyn Recreation Board was just awarded a grant from the Community Initiatives Fund in the amount of $25,000. The total so far for 2015 is $102,975.18 which brings our grand total for four years to $229,022.
Glaslyn is fortunate to have the support from its community members, the surrounding area and local businesses that continue to help small communities raise money for a good cause. The board appreciates all those that have volunteered, donated and supported the project. Board members look forward to what the future holds for Sports and Recreation in the community.
Winners of the Glaslyn Community Lotto have been announced. The early bird draw winner of a 2014 Polaris Ace was Kevin Pritchett.
