One million dollars, one thousand people – the Mossburn community centre

Turner, John F.

Executive Summary

It is 10 years since fundraising and planning began for the Mossburn Community Centre. What has been my intention is to try and summarise the events during the past years, so that members of our community may be able to look back and recall the fellowship that took place and the success of their labour. I hope that this may also give other communities the inspiration to do something for themselves, rather than wait in hope that things may happen.

Grow. Advance. Lead.

Do the Kellogg Rural Leadership Programme.
