Integris Insurance Services staff has decided to raise funds to buy a new time clock for the 47 Mile Sports Complex (Clinton Skating Rink).
After gaining approval from the Village of Clinton, we are ready to move forward and help the community obtain a new time clock for the arena because the old one has not worked for some time. We hope community businesses, organizations and individuals will want to share in the fundraising for the time clock, which will be upwards of $15,000. A time clock (if well maintained) could last the lifetime of the arena.
We are just in the process of putting together a fundraising plan, but at this point, if anyone in the community would like to help share the costs of a new time clock, please stop by the branch or call 459-2301 or 459-2173 for more information.
There would be different levels of advertising available with your contribution towards the new clock. If you donated $1,000 or more you would be a platinum or top level sponsor and receive the largest signage or advertising. Below that would be sponsorships of $500 and up, then $250 and up, and then under $250.
No matter how much or little you decided to donate, your name would be displayed in the arena when the clock was installed.
Sponsorship letters will be going out to businesses in the near future, if you would like a letter and do not receive one please stop by the branch for a copy.
