On May 5, the Friends of the Plex will be putting on a community auction gala, a fun-filled evening consisting of a meal and an auction of items donated by the community.
Donations so far include a backyard catered meal for 15 to 20 people and a framed and signed Blake Wheeler Jets jersey. The committee has been reaching out to residents and businesses about further donations. The donations could range from cookies, pies, borscht, or spring rolls to a grass-cutting service, a week at a cottage, or gift certificates to local businesses.
Each month, Hespeler’s Cookhouse & Tavern offers a menu item in support of the Niverville Multiplex. For December, the Plex special will be their new Cookhouse Cookie, and the Cookhouse Coffee. $2 from each cookie and $1 from each coffee will be donated to the multiplex.
While the Friends of the Plex patiently wait for a response from both the federal and provincial governments on grant applications, they look forward to the new year. Upon confirmation of government funding, Niverville’s town council will put out an open call for bids from contractors on the design and construction of the multiplex.
The Chase the Ace contest is still ongoing each Wednesday at Hespeler’s Cookhouse & Tavern. The pot grows bigger each week until the ace of spades is drawn. Bigway Bucks are still available for $20 denominations at the Niverville Credit Union and the town office.
