Two significant pledges have pushed the total of gifts and pledges to the Make a Splash! Campaign past the $150,000 mark.
The Hampton Rotary Club made a $10,000 pledge and the Franklin County Supervisors committed to a similar amount to the Make a Splash! Campaign, which seeks funding for Hampton’s new Family Aquatic Center and related Progress Park Regional Recreation Complex project. Combined, the pledges bring the total of gifts and pledges to the Make a Splash! Campaign to $155,755.
“Both Rotary and the Supervisors are setting great examples of community spirit and collaboration,” said Pat Sackville of Hampton, Coordinator of the Make a Splash! Campaign. “I thank them on behalf of the Steering Committee and all residents of Franklin County who will enjoy the benefits of this project.”
“Rotary is proud to be of service to our community by supporting this project,” said Rotary President and Hampton Mayor Diane Weldin.
The support of Franklin County is a crucial component of the application to the Vision Iowa Board for a Community Attraction and Tourism (CAT) grant. The Supervisors on Nov. 16 unanimously approved a motion to endorse the project and authorize a pledge of $10,000. The unofficial minutes of the Nov. 16 meeting note that the Supervisors might consider additional funding for the project in 2010.
