Funding the redevelopment through donations not the club
So the club needs to fork out $1.25M to get Frankston up and going.
Doesn't sound like a problem, given how we are travelling financially at the moment, as it could be paid off easily in about 7 years or so.
BUT......as another option, could they set up a Saints/Frankston type foundation, where you become a patron (or some marketing spin) by donating a $1000 towards this project.
Everyone that becomes a "patron" then is named on a plaque/foundation stone that erected once the new facility opens.
Just an idea, similar to what hospitals/other big public facilities utilise for funding.
If the donation could go through in a tax deductible way would be handy also.
Thoughts???

Thats right, theres also a walkway going into Windy Hill with patrons names on the pavers.casey scorp wrote:There must have been something similar at Moorabbin at one time (in the 70's I think from what I recall of the names) because there are bricks next to the stairs going up to the Treor Barker Room.
