“A” Fresh Start Grant Presentations

Are you ready for the pitches for “A” Fresh Start Grant from the Town of Amherst. It’s Thursday starting at 6:30 at the Community Credit Union Business Innovation Center. Representatives from The Valentine Run, The Sexual Health Center and Heritage Trust will share their visions and event ideas. (The Trust, in co-operation with the North Nova Scotia Highlanders Museum, is seeking $2,064 to host “Art and War,” an exhibit showcasing original Arthur Lismer lithographs of the First World War. The Amherst Valentine Run Committee is seeking $4,000 in order to introduce a one-kilometer event aimed exclusively at students in the grades 4-6 range to the sixth annual Amherst Valentine Run. The Sexual Health Centre for Cumberland County is seeking $3,000 in order to host a youth engagement forum that will interest and engage youth, facility broader awareness and encourage local action on sexual health and wellness issues.) For $2 get a ballot and vote for your favorite. The vote will then be presented to the Amherst town council, whose members will immediately hold a special session to determine the final placing of the presentations.
