AN APPEAL

 

Community Centre Repair and Renovation

 

Dear Residents,

 

Presumably you are aware that infrastructure of the Community Centre are not in good shape and require immediate thorough renovation in order to make use of such facilities. This renovation programme is long overdue and the building as a whole can experience further damage unless proper repair and renovation is not carried out on urgent basis. In all our community festivals and functions, we use the Community Hall and it is our earnest responsibility to keep the facility usable and clean. It is, therefore, decided by the present Executive Committee to undertake a project of repair and renovation of the Community Centre with some modifications in phased manner and to create some augmented infrastructure by the side of the Community Centre in order to facilitate smooth functioning during occasions and festivals. Subsequently, this renovation programme has been approved by the Annual General Meeting held on 5th July 2020 and it has been decided to create a “building fund” with one time contribution from the residents. Although a minimum of Rs.1000/- contribution per resident has been considered, we make an appeal to all of you for donation of larger amount so that the entire expenditure can be borne from this specially created fund. An overall expenditure of Rs.12 Lacs has been estimated for this purpose and the components of the work would be as follows:

 

  1. Renovation of the ground floor toilets with change of fittings and flooring etc. Entry to the main toilet has been planned from the staircase side so that the passage to the toilet is not through the Puja room, particularly, creating inconvenience during the Durga Puja festival. Sewerage system requires thorough restoration and clearing including repair of water tank.

 

  1. The door from park ground for entrance to Community Centre as well as the main door for entering into the ground floor hall will be changed with sliding door.

 

  1. 1st floor open space will be provided with necessary sink and washing area.

 

  1. 1st floor toilets will be renovated with change of fittings and access to the room will be changed from staircase side. This room with attached toilet will be used as guest room and will be available for the residents with deposit of maintenance charge.

 

  1. A tubular structure with shade and proper flooring will be constructed at the present kitchen area replacing the existing bamboo structure by the side of the Community Centre.

 

  1. Two rooms of temporary nature will be constructed in the shade beside kitchen area. Present caretaker room will be demolished and a temporary room will be created within the said space for the purpose of living of caretaker. Garden will be developed adjacent to kitchen as beautification of the park.

 

Undoubtedly, this is ambitious plan, but if we together can make it happen, it will help all the residents of FE Block for years to come. Probably, you have observed that many blocks in Salt Lake have already created such facility in a befitting manner in and around the Community Centre. This is high time that we undertake this project. The name of the donor with contribution of more than Rs.10,000/- will be mentioned properly in the Community Centre. Moreover, residents may opt for a larger donation, for which, some of these newly created facilities and the existing facilities like Library room, Office room, Doctor’s chamber, Guest room, Open space can be named after any of your close relatives/residents. Special mention for the donors contributing Rs.5000/- and above will be made in the Souvenir and website.

 

We believe that like all our endeavour, we will receive whole hearted support and encouraging response from you, which will help us to create such facility within a short timeframe. Taking advantage of the pandemic when ceremonial functions are not being held due to social restrictions, we would like to utilise the time and opportunity to undertake this project and to complete it as far as possible. We make an appeal to all of you to help the association generously for success of the project.    

 

With regards,
