cabins & community spirit.

As I noted in my last Cabin Fever! post, our new cabins are costing about $50,000 each. That means the Cabin Fever! project, when all is said and done, will come in at about $600,000: a lot of money.

We've been so blessed by businesses who have worked with us to give us the best possible prices (e.g., Wild's Home Hardware in Sundre). We have a great contractor (Dale Erickson Carpentry). We have great donors ... like you, perhaps!

We also want to acknowledge the generous support of the Government of Alberta, through its Community Spirit Program. We were thrilled to receive a $25,000 Community Spirit Program Donation Grant in 2011. From the CSP website:
The donation grant provides an opportunity for eligible non-profit and/or charitable organizations to receive a provincial grant. The grant is based on total annual cash donations from individual Albertans that have been received by an eligible organization over a 12-month fiscal period. The grant can be used to support an organization's operations, programs and/or capital projects. The maximum grant available is $25,000 up to a maximum of $50,000 over three years. A minimum total of $1,000 in eligible cash donations needs to be received prior to applying for a grant.
So, we're eligible because of your generousity. (And we're applying for another grant for 2012.) Thank you for supporting us -- both to our individual donors and the Community Spirit Program!
