Community Care readies 55th anniversary time capsule

To commemorate 55 years of serving area residents in need, Community Care of West Niagara is creating a time capsule.

The CCWN team is calling upon the residents of Lincoln to share any memories or artifacts relevant to the agency that can be placed in a time capsule, which will reside in the walls of the newly renovated Beamsville location at 4309 Central Ave.

There are various community members, stakeholders, local businesses and agencies which have been involved with CCWN’s operations from the very beginning.

Many hold cherished memories.

Through a time capsule and the collection of these memories and artifacts, CCWN will honor its heritage and the long-lasting commitment it has made - and continues to make - while serving the Lincoln community.

Examples of what CCWN is collecting for the time capsule:

• Newspaper clippings (1967-present)

• Photographs

• Letters/notes

• Invitations to past events

• CCWN Memorabilia

• Local grocer flyers

A maximum of 55 items will be selected in honour of our 55 years of service to the community. The artifacts will be cho- sen by a committee of stakeholders vested in community and CCWN’s history. Due to the length of storage time, we will not be able to accept perishable items. Selected items will not be returned, as this time capsule will not be opened until 45 years from now at CCWN’s 100th year anniversary.

CCWN will be accepting submissions until Aug. 31. Artifacts can be dropped off during CCWN’s busi- ness hours at either one of its two locations:

• 4309 Central Ave., Beamsville – 8:30 am4:30 pm, Monday-Friday;

• 3831 Victoria Ave., Vineland – 1-4:30 pm, Tuesday-Thursday.

If you do not have a physical item for the time capsule but would like to share a memory or thought about CCWN, please write your memory or thought down and submit via email to: outreach@communitycarewn.ca
