To the Editor,

118 Bowen households have so far pledged $222,065 towards the construction of Snug Cove House. In just four weeks.

This impressive demonstration of support has persuaded the project’s major financier to extend the deadline for finding the last of the money needed to build the supportive seniors’ residence. Instead of early next month, Snug Cove House Society now has until early summer to find the final funding, a huge reprieve. The society is also urgently tracking down more ways to lower construction costs.

So thank you Bowen for keeping alive the hopes for an important piece of that magical thing we call a community.
