Fundraising by our community members

Thank you to everyone who voted for our Creative Partners on Stage project on the Aviva Community Fund website.
Unfortunately we were up against some very tough competition and so failed to make it into the final round of judging. We'll get it next year!
Don't forget to keep checking back to see when tickets go on sale for Creative Partners on Stage production of the Sound of Music this coming March 2010.

This past month has seen 3 fundraising events here at Community Living Dufferin for our Building Dreams Together capital campaign.

Through the assistance of Thelma Fudge of Avon we sold 27 sets of hand blown glass Angel ornaments. With a profit of $4.00 per box set we raised $108.00 for BDT.

The Amaranth Lions have very generously named Building Dreams Together as the main benefactor of their annual Cash Calendar fundraising event. With 40% of the sales being donated to BDT, it's a potential $16,000.00 donation for our capital campaign. Thank you to the Amaranth Lions who have always been a great supporter of Community Living Dufferin with many of our fundraising events.

Our very own Joyful Voices choir hosted a Friends in Song Community Concert on November 22 at Orangeville District Secondary School. Accompanied by the wonderful voices of Shelburne's Forever Young Choir and the talented musicians of the Orangeville Community Band; Joyful Voices were successful in raising over $1,900.00 for BDT.

Thank you to each of you who purchased an Angel set, bought a calendar or attended the concert for your support in helping us to continue with our fundraising efforts.

You'll notice to the left of this post, photographs of our construction progress. Check back each week as we post the lastest photographs of the building as it takes shape over the next few months. With QPAC and Theatre Orangeville anticipating their move in date of March 2010, it will be exciting to watch as the building expands and takes form!
