Tyrone Community Centre News Blast!
January 2010
The TCC News Blast
Ch-ch-changes!!
As you may be aware, there has been a lot of excitement brewing around TCC over
the past while. Our goal has been to ensure we generate enough revenue to keep our centre
structurally sound, make it a clean & inviting gathering place, & most importantly to create
lots of programs & fun events for our families, friends & neighbours.
*
Take a look at us now! Here’s what has been done to improve TCC
• Major clean up of interior
• kitchen updated, pots pans etc replenished.
• a new coat of white paint, baseboards replaced
• new bar countertop
• landscaping in front of building
• round tables & chairs purchased to meet the needs of our guests and renters.
• a brand new sign has been erected on Concession 7 to replace the one that was run down
by a careless driver.
•
Up and Coming!
In a few months, thanks to the Municipality, we will be updated with some badly needed ceiling
tiles, lights & fans to replace the original ones from the 1970s. We also need to buy 5 new card
tables to meet the needs of the growing number of seniors coming out to card nights.
•
T Y R O N E missing! Unfortunately, the metal letters on the front of our hall have
been taken. A great deal of time has been spent sourcing out quotes to have them replaced. The cost
will be a will be at LEAST $1,000 + the kicker is that we may not even be able to match the type
place exactly! Best thing would be if they could be returned a.s.a.p. Perhaps they could be left
discreetly against the wall underneath the rest of the sign.
Fantastic events going on at TCC

These dances are fund raisers to keep oil in the tank & lights on. They are a real blast with

Lots of ideas not enough hands!
There are SO many events we’d love to do with the community here at the hall. Events such
as movie nights, a winter family games day, snow ball games, karaoke night, music venues +
of course Spirit Day, but we are short of help. If you like any of these ideas, or have some of
your own, & would like to help out or even better, head up event that head one up, that would
be fantastic! Just drop us a line via www.tyroneontario.com or call a board member to talk!
