Thanks to the support of various donors and sponsors the fairly recent renovations of the Hussar Community Hall are basically paid off.
The Hussar Community Hall Maintenance Society has fundraised $1.2 million for the renovations, which were done in three phases. The first was the storage area, second was a new front entry and the third was the interior.
On April 9 Gregory Harriman and Associates presented Pete Sanden, a member of the society, with a cheque for $4,000.
“It’s pretty much finished, except for a few small details, and actually believe it or not it’s almost paid for. So donations like Gregory Harriman of course really help us go over the top,” said Sanden.
He continued on to say that Gregory Harriman has been a long-time supporter of various fundraising efforts and projects within the community of Hussar.
“We do it for the communities that support us,” said John Gauvin, with Gregory Harriman.
Now that renovations of the hall are complete, and the project essentially paid for, the society will begin looking at other areas of the community that can use help. Sanden said each year the different community groups gather to discuss which projects need to be done, and then each focuses on the same project.
