In case you haven’t heard, the membership has endorsed the Board’s recommendation to proceed with the plan for the new facility in Timberlea!
As we embark on an exciting chapter in the history of the Mayflower Curling Club, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our Membership Engagement Campaign. This marks a pivotal moment in our Club's journey, where each member's contribution becomes an integral part of the legacy we aim to build. Our new state-of-the-art facility is not just a dream; it's a vision that hinges on the support and enthusiasm of our beloved members.
The Vision: Transformation Begins
Here at the Mayflower, we envision a future where our members experience the game they love in a cutting-edge facility. Our new home aims to cater to all members, from our youngest enthusiasts to seasoned veterans, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels at home. This facility isn't just about bricks and mortar; it's about creating an enduring legacy that transcends generations.
How Members Can Contribute: Building Together
Your contribution to our cause is more than a financial gift; it's an investment in the enduring spirit of our Club. Whether through individual donations, designating funds for specific items, contributions through estates or life insurance policies, or some sort of collective family donation to recognize a family’s generational involvement at the Mayflower, your support drives us closer to our $150,000 goal for direct member contributions. Explore avenues for contributions and see how your generosity will shape our future.
National Sport Trust Fund (NSTF): All donations through the National Sport Trust Fund (NSTF) web site should be directed to “Mayflower Curling Club – New Facility Construction” on the website's drop-down menu. All tax-deductible contributions are subject to a 3.5% processing fee. The website asks contributors if they would like to gross up their donation to cover the 3.5% processing fee.
Credit card donations can be made through the National Sport Trust Fund (NSTF) web site. Contributions of $20 or more can generate a charitable tax receipt.
Direct cash or check donations can be made by accessing this link to submit donations through the NSTF and receive a charitable receipt. Cash or cheque donations can also be made at the Club. These direct donations will not result in a tax receipt.
We are open to estate or life insurance policy contributions. Contact us for guidance.
The Importance of Member Support: Every Contribution Counts
Each donation, regardless of size, represents a critical building block in realizing our shared dream. By participating in our Member Engagement Campaign, you're not just supporting a new facility; you're fostering community, inclusivity, and the growth of our beloved sport.
