The Dryden Recreation Extension and Modification Committee is starting to ramp up fundraising efforts.
The group is nearing its first goal of $25,000 for arena upgrades.
Marnie Oliphant and Janice Radburn were guests on the CKDR Morning Show Wednesday and they both stressed support from the community has been strong so far.
Oliphant says a number of individuals and businesses have come forward with cheque in hand and adds service clubs as well as Mayor and Council have been supportive.
The two have also announced plans for their first big event, a fundraising social planned for Tuesday, December 27th at the Royal Canadian Legion.
Oliphant notes the event is on the same day as the Eagles Alumni Hockey Tournament.
