BLOG: CRCC News & Notes Jan. 24

The Sweetheart's Ball on Feb. 18 is shaping up very well as tickets are sold and auction items are coming in. This is a huge affair with all kinds of glamour and fun designed to make the price of $150 for a couple and $100 for a single person a real bargain for all those attending. And tickets are easy to obtain as we add a new ticket-selling location to our list.

You may pay for your tickets at our website atwww.croftonregionalcommunitycenter.net(through PayPal) or at ,  and at . Many(CRCC) members have tickets to sell as well. Planning is easier when the CRCC knows how many to expect, so don't put it off! Details on this event can be found on the CRCC website. Auction items are still being sought, so please contact John Hollywood about that at (301) 261-3515.

The next CRCC General Meeting is Feb. 1 at  and a large crowd is expected to attend. This meeting is open to the public and it's a good opportunity to see the architect's drawings of the community center and ask your questions and get answers. Come earlier than the 7 pm meeting time to socialize, meet people and order food.

Time is running out to get your name included on the address list so that you may have the CRCC newsletter mailed to you. Call today (Jan. 24) at (410) 793-3896 before you forget and put it off, or email at doyle1718@comcast.net.

For a $100 donation, a brick with your name on it will be a part of the paved walk areas around the community center.

For $500, a plaque on a tree will have your name on it.

Ask what will be done to recognize higher donations, or check out our next newsletter or web site for more information on this. 

Our goal is to have everyone who lives or works in the Crofton-area to be able to say they have supported the community center and the CRCC efforts. After all, the community center will enable all of its residents and businesses to make use of it. Classes will be for all ages. Activities will be for people of all ages. Remember, the skate park is just one part of the center.

We will also accept in-kind donations that will provide either a person's or company's services, or materials or equipment for use in building or setting up the community center.
