Great news, Lights on Avon supporters and donors!
Monday night, at a special Town Council meeting, members voted unanimously to invest approximately half of the recently awarded bond premium dollars (up to $235K) to the turf field lights project. Given that since we began our campaign in 2019 we've experienced two price increases and a pandemic, this is outstanding news and we are relieved and grateful.
If/when the use of these funds is approved by the Board of Finance, we will resume our campaign with a one-month holiday season push to raise $15,000 and close the books on the project by 12/31. Based on our pre-Covid campaign performance we know that, with the community's help, we can do this.
But first, we need to garner support from the Board of Finance which will meet and vote on the proposal next Monday, 11/23, at 7PM. A link to the video meeting is not yet available, but we will share it once it is – or, you can keep a lookout for it here.
Please let our Board of Finance members know that YOU support the Town Council’s generous proposal and you want THEM to approve it. You can write to them at the addresses below and/or attend their video meeting next Monday evening,11/23, to urge their support.
If all goes well, we will resume our campaign on Tuesday, 11/24 with expanded brick sales and other premiums - and we thank you in advance for your support!
