INTRODUCTION:

A public meeting was held in the Avonlea Community Hall on April 10th, 2013 to discussthe construction of a new Avonlea and District Community Hall. Positive debates surrounding location, size, and costs of construction led to the formation of two committees:

-Hall Fundraising Committee: Darryl Hollema, Amanda Gonzales, Doug Bender, Calvin Watson, Jaret Nelson, Andy Cunningham, Mark Watson, Terri Stevens, Quentin Nelson and Joel Miller.

-Hall Building Committee: Lloyd Daniel , Gary Nelson, Chris Riecken, Raymond Jelinski , Tim Forer, Marlyn Stevens, Dave Prohar, Brad Meggison, Alex Getzlaf and Doris Nelson.

Over the past year, the individuals on these committees have worked diligently towards the final goal: to construct a multi-purpose building which incorporates sufficient size and amenities to facilitate the many and varying needs of the members of the Avonlea community.
