Tremendous boost

Dear editor:
It was great getting the news of the $175,000 donation from Shaw towards the new Fort Frances Public Library.
Not only was the size of the donation totally unexpected, but Shaw’s timing could not have been better in its support for the fundraising effort, as well.
People on the street are very excited about Shaw’s decision to invest in the project and in our community. I have received countless words of encouragement in support of our efforts to raise the final five percent needed to reach our local goal of $750,000.
Shaw’s investment in the library and technology centre, and in Fort Frances, has been a tremendous boost to the project and our fundraising efforts.
Now it is on to $750,000.
For all who have been delaying with contributions or pledges, now is the time to join us as we strive to reach our goal and make the dream of a public library and technology centre a reality.
Sincerely,
Mark Kowalchuk
