CAN YOU HELP WITH THE CARE OF YOUR COMMUNITY CENTER?  

Dear Friends and Neighbors, 

This is our annual appeal to the community for funds for needed improvements and general care at the beloved Thetford Center Community Building - the historic former schoolhouse located across from the Town Offices.  

The building is managed by the Thetford Center Community Association, (TCCA) - a small group of volunteers. We do not receive town funding.  Most operating expenses and needs are met by a combination of rental income, donations and volunteer labor.   But we need additional community support to fund improvements and major repairs and for general maintenance and to pay for some unexpected expenses this year.  

This year we hope to raise $6000.00 - $8000.00.  

Currently the building is used at no charge for memorial services, senior exercise and Tai Chi classes, and the senior coffee klatch and community gatherings.  

It is also rented for public and private meetings, art classes, weddings, showers, birthday parties, political meetings, fundraising events, graduation parties, and much more.

We hope you will consider a donation of any size to help us take care of the building!  Thank you!  

Over the last two years we have made the following improvements: 

Entire exterior was painted, with help from the Byrne Foundation. 

The old gas range was replaced with 2 new pilotless ranges.  

Electrical upgrades including a hot water safety switch and surge protector.

New LED lights in the kitchen. 

We have installed window shades. 

We have made needed repairs- including a leak in the roof.  

Installed sound remediation in the ceiling, greatly improving the sound in the building. 

Unexpectedly installed a new furnace.  

Kitchen has been repainted and is now clean and cheery! 

Recently we had an incoming electrical wire fail which affected the power coming into the building.This severely damaged our new furnace resulting in costly repairs.  

We also will be needing a new refrigerator and basement dehumidifier.  

We need to replace the kitchen flooring soon and we hope to have the wood floor completely refinished next year.  

There is always something that needs repair in an old, historic building!   

We thank you for any amount you can give to help us take care of this lovely old and beloved building!
