It is time for some serious fundraising for the new Wellington Community Centre.
Fundraising Committee Chair Jim Dunlop says the federal and provincial governments are paying eight-million dollars of the 12-million-dollar cost, 2.5-million is coming from Prince Edward County, and 1.5-million is being collected through fundraising.
Dunlop says everything is on schedule, the bids from the five potential contractors will be in on friday, and a special council meet is scheduled for June 29th to choose the builder.. Forty-to-50-thousand dollars in donations were made even before the official fundraising campaign began.
Dunlop says the fundraising committee will be at Canada Day in Wellington and other major functions throughout the county for the rest of this year..
