Dear Friends of the Lake Vermilion Cultural Center

Jan 7, 2025 | LVCC News | 0 comments

What a year this has been! Storms, floods, elections, parties, projects, fundraising events, gifts, grants, all with hopes and dreams beginning to be realized. Through the wonderful work of our Vice-Chair Sandy Wallin, State Senator Grant Hauschild and others, we have received a generous grant from the state of Minnesota tax funds. This $100,000 will be added to the funds that we are hoping to raise with this year-end plea as well as the $30,000 matching grant which we received from the IRRR earlier this year. That grant covered materials but not labor so we are continuing to raise funds to pay for the labor needed to continue working on our project.

Elsewhere in our newsletter you will see articles about all the ways we’ve raised funds this past year. We seem to become more creative as time goes by but the needs and costs also increase as we work to finish this project. The good news is that our donors and other community members have been more than enthusiastic and encouraging in our efforts. Our successful Midsummer and other fundraisers have introduced us to many new friends. In addition, we have had at least a dozen programs in 2024 in St. Mary’s Hall with delightful receptions accompanying most of them.

What we REALLY need now is you! We can’t thank you enough for what you have contributed in the past and ask now that you reach as deep as your finances allow to send a check in the enclosed envelope or donate on our website at: vermilionculturalcenter.org.
With warm wishes and thanks,

Elaine McGillivray-Chair
Mary Batinich-President
