FUNDS!!!!! and Donations!

Hello!!

Yesterday the days was quick and slow, not too much went on, except that I was getting ready for the cheque ceremony.

So what cheque? Well, the E-centre got a grant from Farm Credit Union through the agri-spirit fund, and its going to be destined to building improvements and common space. That's a really big thing, because the E-centre is a non-profit organization without any core governmental fund, so our budget allow us to operate but not necessarily to update the building. We get the support of the Industry Canada through the Cap program and tenants like Enterprise Saskatchewan and Community Futures play a big role in helping us stay afloat.

So as a CAP it was a great experience to be part of the Check Ceremony, I got to do a press release for the media and follow up with them... don't know if Its a big deal or not but I got all three medias ( Radio, Local TV news and Newspapers) to cover the story. Ivan the chairman of the board received the funds on behalf of the E-centre.

Anyways, it was pretty cool. So the centre will now be able to provide better services for commuters and businesses in general, which also benefits a lot through this CAP program!

We also got a donation of an educational book, to put on the resource library! So I thought that was neat as well!.

Awesome! I am glad I am part of this!

See ya!
