Well, after much planning and hard work, the Egmont Saloon was open for one night only on November 21 at the Egmont Community Hall. This was a casino night fundraiser for the hall foundation fund.
All the local businesses were very supportive. They sponsored tables and donated some wonderful prizes for the High Rollers of the evening and the silent auction. All in all we raised over $5000 that night. Then Karen and Rick King of Madeira Marina pledged to match whatever we raised up to $10,000! So thanks to them, we raised over $10,000 in one night. After expenses over $7,000 will go into the fund.
The Club plans on starting work on the foundation next spring. Over the last 5 years we have raised $107,000 of the needed $115,000. Amazing for such a small town and a large project.
