Pa ge 1 6 T hu rs da y, Ja nu ar y 22 , 2 01 5 - T he IF P - H al to n H ill s - w w w .th ei fp .c a The Board of Directors of the Georgetown Bread Basket Food Bank want to send out a big THANKYOU to the community for an overwhelmingly generous response to support the food bank this past holiday season and throughout the past year. Local support from individuals, churches, schools, major area corporations, local businesses, lodges, community groups, clubs and associations were key to our ability to achieve a record breaking volume of donated food, gift cards and funds this past December. Halton Police Services organized "Cram a Cruiser" food drive allowing the community to donate over 11,000 pounds of food, surpassing last year's collection, along with $1800 cash. This was just one of many food drives and events over the holiday season that allowed the food bank to assist our clients and build a reserve of food for the coming months. We would also like to recognize and thank our local grocery stores (Food Basics, FreshCo, Metro, Superstore, and Walmart) who allow us to pick up your donations bi-weekly from the GBB food donation bins throughout the year, which is our main source of food. Happy NewYear! Sincerely The Board of Directors www.georgetownbreadbasket.ca A SINCERE THANK-YOU TO OUR GEORGETOWN COMMUNITY!! NEWS Behind the construction fences and the construction trailers the new Ac- ton Arena is taking on the appear- ance of an arena. You may see things rising every day if you drive past but if you want a really good look take a look at the spectacular aerial youtube video. : https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=zaAzMwaeWVo. You can also follow the progress by liking the Stay Home and Play facebook page. The concrete footings are com- pleted and additional masonry work (interior block walls) has started and indicates impending change rooms. The steel is erected and the roofing decking is next. By early March the walls will begin the closing in por- tions of construction. Halton Hills Arena Users Group (HHAUG) and their Stay Home and Play Campaign has committed to raise $2.2 million -- 88 per cent has been collected-- and both business- es and individuals are invited to help in he home stretch. How you ask? There are naming opportunities for everything from the ice pad to the seats. What about nam- ing a dressing room or the foyer after your business or family? Giant Tiger has already donated funds for an ice resurfacer and it will be covered in their logos. HHAUG is counting on residents and businesses to be a part of this project that will complete an essential part of the community. If you are interested in history you may purchase an authentic stamped brick from the Memorial Arena. HHAUG will be selling these for a limited time and the next occasion is on Saturday, Jan. 24, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mold-Masters SportsPlex.
