BRUSSELS – The volunteer leaders heading up the Inspiring Our Future capital campaign in support of the renovation of the Brussels, Morris and Grey (BMG) Community Centre have collectively pledged $340,000 to the project. These personal gifts have been essential to helping kick off the campaign, which aims to raise a minimum of $2 million.
The volunteer members of the campaign management team were the first people to believe that it was possible for the community to come together to raise $2 million to support the major redevelopment of the community centre. Many of the team members have been working together for over five years to make a newly renovated, modern community centre a reality.
The members of the Inspiring Our Future campaign are chair Brian TenPas, co-deputy Chairs Doug McArter and John van Vliet, honorary advisors Joe and Deb Seili and Neil McGavin, campaign coordinator Roxane Nicholson, divisional chairs Dan Fritz, Leisa Albers, and Michelle Blake and canvassers Brett and Laura Fischer, Kevin Deitner, Jeff McGavin, Steve and Marnie Knight, Jeff Cardiff, and Patricia Beuermann.
This group of volunteers is generously giving their time to ensure that Brussels and the surrounding area has a community centre that serves everyone and will enrich the quality of life in our community for the coming decades. They have been equally generous with their personal donations to the campaign. Those considering making their own donation to the Inspiring Our Future campaign can rest assured that all the people leading this initiative are confident enough in the project to take action themselves.
These volunteers will continue their work seeking donations in the community to support the renovation of the BMG Community Centre over the coming weeks. Members of the community are encouraged to welcome their calls. Anyone interested in learning more about the Inspiring Our Future campaign and how to support the community centre project can get in touch with Brian TenPas at 519-492-0214, Roxane Nicholson at 519-357-6292 or any member of the fundraising team.
