(b) To provide recreational facilities and

Funding
Since its inception as a community hall, the model for sustaining the building has been based on rentals, fundraising events, and the annual municipal grant for maintenance. That model has been enlarged to encourage support from those wishing to preserve the history as a one-room rural school, by becoming Sustaining Members of the Association.
Sustaining Memberships
Individuals from inside or outside the community can become Sustaining Members by contributing $50 or more annually to the support of the building. Such donations cover a one-day rental of the building, an annual membership in the Association, and an updated copy of the history. Donations may be mailed to:
