Friends
The 'Friends
of Fallbrook' are currently pursuing an updated membership
list and seeking funds for the purpose of achieving the
original goal of creating a memorial to the Ballinafad
pioneer community by preserving the house at Fallbrook also
known as the old ‘McClure/McKay Farm'. We believe
we have made significant progress toward that end.
Halton Hills
Heritage Committee has recommended to the council that
the original house be considered for designation. Council
approved the designation in their first reading but a second
reading awaits more response from the community – hence this
letter.
At a Friends
of Fallbrook meeting on April 30th a new executive was
formed, Chair ... Bill McKay, Secretary ... Mary McKay,
Treasurer ... Lloyd McIntyre, Director .... Kate Murray.
A bank
account has been opened and we are in the process of
incorporating under the name North Halton Celtic Heritage
Society. The reason for a change in name is that the
original application using the name of Fallbrook was deemed
too narrow in focus.
A business
plan is currently being developed and we are looking forward
to continuing to work cooperatively with the Town, CVC and
NEC building on the joint meeting we had with these parties
on April 13th at the Devereux House in Georgetown.
Members are
currently involved in ongoing discussions concerning
restoration plans with a ‘green’ focus.
We invite
you to show support for our cause with an annual cheque for
$10.00 which will designate you as a ‘supporting member’.
For those
who would like to be actively involved in the organization
as ‘voting members’ we would be happy to accept an annual
fee of $25.00.
If you could
volunteer time, a service or expertise in a particular area
please let us know of your interest.
Cheques
should be made out to ....
