Address Sign Fundraiser

Greater Hansville Community Center is continuing with its address sign fundraiser.  If you would like an address sign, order forms can be can be picked up at Hansville Repair or downloaded HERE.  (pdf format)

The sign numbers are routered onto an 8 x 24-inch piece of clear grain cedar. The painted numbers have a reflective material added to them for better nighttime viewing.  Our volunteer firefighters and EMT’s love these signs – they can make a big difference when someone needs emergency services fast. The numbers are 6 inches high and the sign is mounted to a 4-foot length of pressure treated 4 x 4 post. The cost is $40.00, with all income over the cost of materials going to the Community Center Genral Fund for building maintenance.
 

Summer Lunch for kids 

 

During the summer, there are some kids who will be missing out on the nutritious lunches they have been receiving at their schools through the free lunch program.  During this time, ShareNet has need of foods to help these families provide tasty lunches for kids, such as – tuna, jams and jelly, canned fruit, canned juices or juice packs.  If you can help, your donations of either food or cash would be much appreciated!
