De Winton Digest – Jun 2021

Do you have bookkeeping experience? We need you! We currently do not have a Treasurer and we really NEED one. Please consider joining our volunteer Board of Directors.

Updates: As mentioned, we have had very little revenue coming in over the past year because of the extended shutdown resulting from COVID -19. However, your Board is trying hard to keep our heads above water. There

have been a couple of grants that have opened up to us for application.

In early April we applied to the Healthy Communities Initiative Grant provided through the federal government. We did conduct a survey of our community asking you what you would value as an improvement for our Association and the majority responded with a wish for new pickleball courts at our facility. Unfortunately, we did not receive this grant.

In mid-April, we applied to the Dunbow Recreation Board for financial assistance for:

1) preparing an area for and assembling an outdoor sports equipment shed,

2) digging a 4 foot deep post hole and cementing in a basketball post, assembling the basketball system, mapping and painting the 3 point and foul lines,

3) cleaning and prepping the area for, mapping and painting the large modern version of hopscotch

4) prepare the area, build and install the horseshoe pits

We have received approval for this grant. Congratulations and thank you Cindy Poole and all else who were involved in putting together these applications. Well done!

Your board will continue to apply for grants as they become available.
