Sussex Area Community Foundation seeks public participation in community directory

The Sussex Area Community Foundation is helping strengthen the communities it serves by building a community directory.

Details on quality of life topics such as health, education and recreation will help directory users find what they need in Sussex and Sussex Corner more easily. Event planners will appreciate the list of venues and related resources when they host gatherings in the region. And organizations seeking to draw professionals such as doctors to the area will have a valuable new tool which to use.

“This directory will be an in-depth resource showing what makes this area such a great one in which to live,” said SACF chairman Richard Sullivan. “Our gathering this information will make it easy for many people to find what they want to know about the Sussex area.”

Sussex area groups are invited to submit details on their organizations for the directory by Friday, June 26. Information forms are being circulated, and are available through the SACF office. Details may be submitted in written or electronic format.

The completed directory will be available through the SACF web site, www.sacfi.org, and updated annually. Printed copies will be available upon request.

The Sussex Area Community Foundation is a proud member of the Community Foundations of Canada, a network of local leaders who invest endowments and gifts to build and expand community projects. Please download form
