With summer in full swing, July has been a bit quieter on the fundraising front, but there’s still a lot going on behind the scenes.
The Friends of the Plex were excited to be on hand for the grand opening of the new splash pad in Hespeler Park on July 12, and also the opening of the Niverville Dog Park on July 23.
The block party wagon is continuing its summer lunch schedule. Every two weeks, the wagon is set up at different locations around town. Upcoming dates are August 10 in the Maranatha Church parking lot (99 Main Street), August 22 at the town’s Public Works Building (309 Main Street), and September 7 at Son City (233 Third Street South, across from Niverville Collegiate). On these days, lunch will be served from 11:30–1:30, weather permitting.
The block party wagon is available for all residents of Niverville to use, free of charge. Inside the trailer you’ll find tables, chairs, a barbecue, and games—everything you need for the perfect block party.
The sale of Bigway Bucks is ongoing. They can be purchased from the town office or the Niverville Credit Union for your next trip to Niverville Bigway. They can be bought in denominations of $20 and used for all your grocery needs. (Bigway Bucks are not eligible on lottery, tobacco, or alcohol purchases). Ten percent of all Bigway Bucks sales come back to the Niverville Multiplex.
Starting in August, businesses and foundations throughout Manitoba will be approached for donations.
The multiplex committee has also been working hard at a new upcoming event for the fall. Stay tuned for more details.
