Deming Gym - Restoration Ablaze.

Deming Gym - Restoration Ablaze. Our vision is to preserve history & create additional space for our growing youth programs to thrive.

I will be typing the minutes from our meeting, and sharing those here in the next few days.

Just a quick recap of highlights to hold you over until then:

There were 14 adults present Friday evening.

We discussed how to best communicate and advertise the plans to restore the gym, so that anyone who wants to be involved has the opportunity to be.

We did take a vote on committee members and all people present agreed to placing the following people in position:

Chairperson - Heather (Nikki) Sumpter
Co-Chairperson - Casey Mitchell
Secretary - Autumn Turner
Treasurer - ??

We would still need one, possibly two members to serve as treasurer(s). We have a fundraising account for the restoration, so we need checks & balances to ensure everything is documented and handled correctly.

In order to ensure that we are taking all of the necessary steps, we will discuss the voting in of a committee at the board meeting and get approval for it as well.

Harley Flack informed us that there is a gentleman who is willing to donate six loads of rock up for bid, and the money raised off that will go straight to the fund. This must be approved by the board before moving forward.

We decided that we would plan to meet again after the February board meeting. We will post two dates on this page, and let everyone vote which date works best for them. Majority rules.

If you’re interested, the board meeting will be tomorrow February 20th at 6pm. Please come!

A few of us will be there to discuss some of the same things we talked about in the meeting including the fundraising idea that has to be board approved, as well as inquiring how we can secure the building as far as ownership goes. Before we start raising money or begin working towards restoration & repair, we want to be certain that the building will not be sold.

This is a team effort! Thanks to everyone for the support and enthusiasm to do something great for our community and our youth.

‼️REMINDER‼️

Tomorrow, Friday February 17th at 6pm we will be meeting at the Deming Gym to discuss plans moving forward & setting committee members in place! If you cannot make it, we will be taking minutes and posting updates here. Please be assured that if you want to be a part of this project, you will have ample opportunities to serve even if you cannot be there tomorrow. There is no one person that can head this thing or take credit for it.. we must work together!

Thank you to everyone for sharing & supporting this project! We’re really striving for success and are hopeful for the outcome. It will take a lot of intentional planning, financial support, and elbow grease. This is just the beginning!

‼️ Attention ‼️

We now officially have a fundraising account, and will be having a community meeting to plan fundraising ideas moving forward! We will also vote on a committee so we can be sure to carry this out efficiently.

Please mark your calendars for February 17th at 6pm.
Meeting will be held at the Deming Gym.

We think it is essential to preserve the history behind the original Deming Gym & to create additional space the growing youth in our community can safely utilize! Right now, that space needs a lot of cleaning, TLC and some specific renovations to be in acceptable conditions for use.

We are looking for proactive, enthusiastic people who are interested in forming a committee with us to work towards walking out this vision.

Right now, this is not a space for monetary funding, but rather a space dedicated to finding volunteers who are willing to put in the time & effort to bring ideas to fruition, which will then lead to putting hands to work and boots on the ground.

If this sounds like a project you feel lead to actively participate in, please contact us. In the following weeks to come we plan to schedule a meeting where we can officially form a committee and begin making big plans to move forward!

Ensuring that the young people in our community have more accessibility and opportunity to grow is more than worth it… this is Restoration Ablaze! 🔥
