Community Meeting
Thursday, February 29 (Snow Date – March 7)
Doors open: 6 pm
Panel Discussion and Q&A: 6:30 – 8 pm
Ross Farm Learning Centre – Hearth Room
The New Ross Community Care Centre Society have hit
the ground running this year as we continue to work on cost estimates, site planning and funding options
for the affordable housing development. We have scheduled a community meeting to share our progress,
discuss the opportunities for community support (both financial and in-kind) and address any questions you
may have about the community housing development.
Do you have your mug yet? They are available at $15 each. Aside from being a
good size (because we all know the morning mug has to be the ‘right’ size), a
‘Home in the heart of New Ross’ mug is a visible reminder of the NRCCC’s goal
to build affordable homes for our community members. It’s also a great gift
for those whose heart is here even if they are unable to be here. The mugs
are $15 each and can be purchased at All Is New Again Frenchy’s (45 Forties
Road).
Sincerely,
The NRCCC Board
