Fee is waived for hospital gala
The Town of Minto agreed to waive the rental fee for the use of the Palmerston arena for the Palmerston and District Hospital Foundation Starlight Gala.
The town approved a recommendation from the Minto Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee (PRAC) to make the donation at the May 7 council meeting. The town also agreed to donate an additional 25 per cent of gross bar proceeds to the fundraiser.
Normally renters of the hall under the municipality’s permanent liquor license receive only 20% of the bar proceeds. However, the town has a policy of contributing 45% for fundraisers for which the proceeds are used in the community.
