Memorial Wall - NCC Accepts Project
Great
news!! Our project has been approved in principle by the National
Capitol Commission (NCC). It will be done under Parks Canada and
they are donating $10,000 to the project. What a bonus!
Derrill Henderson, has had meetings with NCC to start the site selection process and to answer a few questions to clarify some things that the NCC Board had. We have been able to move our completion date to August, 2009. Once the site has been selected the preparation work can begin. The bottom line is - we are on our way.
More good news from the Winnipeg Foundation, they are donating $5,000 to our project. Wow!! Keep it coming. There were other companies and foundations that were waiting for the approval, so now we will be contacting them to see what that will realize.
The committee has prepared a letter to go with the solicitation packages to show how the HKVCA will show its gratitude and recognize all donations through the following means:
- up to $499, a card of thanks from the Regional and/or the National Treasurers,
- $500 to $999 a letter signed by the President of the HKVCA • $1000 - $2999 a certificate
- $3,000 - $4999 a plaque
- over $5000 a plaque, the Donors corporate logo and link on the HKVCA website, also listed on the dedication brochure, inclusion in any newspaper and other advertising regarding the Memorial Wall dedication.
- any donation of $20.00 or more receives an income tax receipt
Thank you all for your positive thoughts and prayers, I am sure
this force is unbeatable.
On a different note, we were saddened to hear about the passing of
Ken Mayo, design draftsman, who helped us start this project. He
worked with us to decide on the design and ensure its structural
integrity was sound. We will remember him.
