St. Mary will be replacing the gym floor upstairs after the end of basketball season in 2016. The replacement is supposed to last 5-6 weeks, but we will see. At the moment we are not anticipating any conflicts with the evening or afterschool programs. I have to find out about the homeschool program.
This is a good thing for us as we hold many of our tournaments upstairs, a good bit of our footwork practice, and the floor is considered by most fencers to be easier on their knees. Many of the out of town fencers much prefer that our tournaments are held in the gym, They will be repainting fencing strips on the floor, so the club has promised to help raise money for the renovation.
If anyone wants to donate to the fund, all the donations are tax deductible. There are a couple of ways to donate. There is a link that will allow you to donate through Paypal below. Donations through this site can be done by credit or debit card even if you do not have a Paypal account. We also have a number of donation envelopes at the club. Please make certain that your donations are marked noted as coming from a Cape Fear Fencing member. Donations can be sent in to be on this year’s taxes or timed for next year. The hope is to have the donations in by the time the actual work starts, so figure a deadline of the end of January.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Herman or me.
