Chase Museum will be opening again soon, after an intense restoration period following the devastating fires that severely damaged the heritage building one year ago.
More resources than ever are needed. Volunteers to help are especially in demand.
In terms of funding, the museum’s annual Heritage Golf Tournament, Auction, Dinner and Dance July 14 at the Sunshore Golf Club is the largest fundraising event for non-profit organization.
All proceeds from this event go to the restoration of the Chase and District Museum.
“This year, donations for the auction have been tremendous,” said volunteer co-ordinator Joan Anderson.
“Museums along with other organizations from all around, have contributed.”
Auction items include theatre/accommodation packages, sporting and adventure packages, artwork, collectors’ items, handcrafted furniture, books, trips, concert tickets, sports jerseys and memorabilia, pet supplies, “Museums of BC” packages, cable TV package, and much, much more.
Dinner and dance tickets are $30 per person, with entry forms and additional dinner/dance tickets being available at Sunshore Golf Course and the Chase Visitor Centre.
