Our Accomplishments for July through September 2026!

 

• We held our 4th annual Good Ole Fourth fundraising event on July 4th to generate funds needed for our general fund.  To help us determine the number of attendees at this special event, our primary attendance metric was handing out free wristbands to all participants arriving for the day’s activities.  The wristbands were divided into two categories: kids and adults.  Our count concluded we had 76 kids and 287 adults with 9 vendors giving us a total of 372 participants.  However, we missed a few attendees as we realized attendees were entering the event from another direction.  We estimated the number of attendees to be between 400 and 450 people.

• We upgraded our Septic System in July at a cost of 9k funded from an anonymous donation in 2024 with a stipulation of their donation to be used for capital improvements.  We strategically held off on upgrade after two grant funding attempts.  

• We held 17 fundraising events yielding a total of over $11,200.00 dollars with many dedicated volunteers to plan and implement events.  Funds raised were added to our general fund needs to help us navigate monthly obligations and expenses. 

• We delivered a weekly free workshop series to help manage health and well-being from July 23rd to August 27th.  Class was sponsored by our partner “North Country Healthy Heart Network” and taught by our board member Peer Leader Trainer Ellie Wall with class focus to “build confidence and take control of your health.”  We had 9 participants.

• Our volunteer hours from July through September totaled 1014 hours at a value of $39,019.00 dollars for our volunteer efforts.

• We submitted a grant application this past summer through the Cloudsplitter Foundation for unrestricted support in our general fund needs.  We received notice the end of September for award of $5,000.00 to be used specifically in our utilities encompassing heat, electricity and technology.
