The Association
of Rural Community Halls of P.E.I. held a group meeting this past Saturday
(April 21) to discuss new ideas for the 2012 year.
The association introduced
a new model of operation to try and come up with better funding.
Vice President,
Shari MacDonald said the association received most of its funding from the government.
“We received our
funding from the government. This year it doesn’t look like we are going to receive
any, so we have to come up with something new.”
Without the
funding from the government they will not be able to have six-month workers to
help during the big season.
“Instead were
going to have to find one person who can control the website and be able to set
up workshop,” said MacDonald.
Erskine Smith was
also on hand and shared a story about raccoons invading the Victoria Playhouse
and Community Hall, giving the small crowd a good laugh.
“There wasn’t a
big crowd, but it allowed us to share our ideas and let everyone get a chance
to speak,” said MacDonald.
The meeting was
mostly members of Central Halls and ARCH plans on expanding out.
“ We plan to take trips to the east and the west, we’re an Island group
so we need to expand to all of the halls,” said MacDonald
