The Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce showed its support through the World’s Largest Dinosaur Legacy Fund for area community groups, with $6,000 in grants.
On Wednesday morning, April 6, Chamber President Landon Bosch presented Drumheller Legion Branch President Karel Stojan with a cheque for $3,000. These funds are to replace the flooring in the basement at the Legion.
“We are redoing the basement,” he tells inSide Drumheller. “Nothing has been done since 1966.”
He adds that this year is the 90th anniversary of the Drumheller Legion Branch and they are in the process of planning a way to mark the occasion.
The Chamber also awarded the Munson Community Association $3,000 for roller shutters for the bar/kitchen area in the new community hall.
President of the Munson Community Association Becky Kowalchuck is grateful for the donation.
The Munson Community Association has been making great strides in completing its hall project. Breaking ground last fall, they are already doing finishing work to the interior and hope to be siding the exterior soon. They are aiming for a June opening.
Kowalchuk added they are continuing work on their fundraising efforts.
The World’s Largest Dinosaur Legacy Fund has been a great supporter of the community and in its short history has contributed more than $585,000 to a number of valuable community projects.
The deadline for the next round of grants is September 1, 2016.
