CMIC Revitalization Project-A Hand to Help, A Legacy to Keep!
December 16, 2024
Today, The Celtic Music Interpretive Centre, a not-for-profit organization and its Board of Directors were proud to announce the CMIC Revitalization project-A Hand to Help, A Legacy to Keep! Our press release included information on the project and has been shared with the local newspapers and radio stations.
This wonderful project involves improvements to our interior design, renovations to the building, additions to furniture and equipment, expansion of our program offerings and much more. Project upgrades will improve the experience of our visitors and expand our reach through various programs, exhibits, archives, technology upgrades, website improvements, and building modifications.
In order to bring the project to life, our Board of Directors and team members have been very busy over the past months working to secure support at all three levels of government. We will be sharing exciting information on these partnerships in the month of January, but today we want to take this opportunity to share information on the first stage of this project- the board was required to declare their commitment as a first contributor.
The CMIC Board of Directors have set a goal of raising $500,000.00 as their part of this project!
The initial part of this board commitment requires approximately 40 percent of that sum to replace the roof of the Centre. There is an urgency to this part of the project as the building is now 18 years old, and our roof is showing its age. We would hope to be able to replace the roof in the first quarter of 2025, but we need your help to make that happen! The remaining monies, in the boards part of the project will be used to ensure the longevity of CMIC’s programming and services; as well as offer seed monies to find new ways to involve the youth in our building and programming.
You can imagine that this goal will need the support of friends and followers of the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre to help our dream come true. We hope that you will be able to make a direct financial contribution and have included information at the end of this section as to how you can do that. Please know that all donations and contributions will help us attain our goal all contributions will be gratefully accepted.
We also would benefit from your sharing fundraising ideas with us and would be happy to hear from you with potential ideas of ways in which you could help us- perhaps donating in memory of a loved one, making a donation as a family, or hosting a supper in your home or……….the opportunities are many and are only limited by our imagination!
We would love it if you would share our news with your friends and neighbours and encourage them to become supporters of the work we do here at the Celtic Music Interpretive Centre.
