In June, a progress thermometer went up in front of the town office, to keep residents of Niverville up to date on fundraising efforts for the multiplex.
The multiplex fundraising committee had a booth set up over the weekend of the Niverville Olde Tyme Country Fair to answer questions and sell 50/50 raffle tickets. Over $3,000 in raffle tickets were sold and there were two lucky winners. Friday night’s winner took home $477.50 and Saturday night’s winner received $1,028.50. Thank you to the 15 volunteers who came out to sell tickets.
The Block Party Wagon has started its summer lunch schedule. Every two weeks, it will be set up at a different location around town. On July 13, the wagon will serve lunch from the Wiens parking lot at 132 Main Street, and on July 27 it will be set up at Wm. Dyck & Sons. Lunch will be served from 11:30 to 1:30, weather permitting.
A card-making workshop was held over three nights, and 26 artists came out to design their own greeting cards.
The sale of Bigway Bucks is ongoing. You can purchase Bigway Bucks at the town office or the Niverville Credit Union. They are available in denominations of $20 and can be used for all your grocery needs. (They are not eligible for lottery, tobacco, or alcohol). 10 percent of the proceeds come back to the Niverville Multiplex.
