Fundraising for ASC New Deck and Pontoon (March Update)

You will remember we have our major application with the Community Grants Program with the decision pending and due at the end of this month. We are very mindful that we were successful last year, have a good track record and the need is strong ..... on the other hand there is a limited amount of funds available and many worthy applicants.

Thinking about the other ways we can raise funds for a moment ..... and one way is quite obvious. One of the biggest things Avalon has going for it is the strong base of dedicated, like minded volunteers. They do so much to keep the club functioning each weekend and work at maintaining the clubhouse and equipment each Working Bee. This culture and support takes many forms and we see it in action from week to week and behind the scenes.

Your volunteer efforts put simply in the context of fundraising mean that helping out around the club each Sunday and coming to the Working Bees allows funds to become available from time to time to spend on items that we would not otherwise be able able to afford.

So to the funding update .....

You will notice that the thermometer on the home page is still at 93K - no change from December. As I said it is a quiet period and we move to the next season of submitting applications for funding in April.  The breakdown is unchanged and stands at:

Government Grants - $75K for the pontoon and ramp (completed)

We have a new application for funding in this year's round in the system and hope to hear good news at the end of this month

Voluntary donation - $9K AND BIG THANKYOU

All the other worthwhile things we are doing to raise money - now up to $11K and a BIG THANKYOU

Stay tuned and please get in touch with Ross Trembath if you can help in any way. We are always keen to work on new ways to raise funds for your club.
