Representatives from the Holmen Area Community Center building

campaign will present a fundraising approach to the Holmen Business

Association at the Association’s July 14th meeting. Several area businesses

have recently offered promotions to help fund the Community Center.

These welcomed initiatives led to conversations about how other

businesses might participate in one or more special initiatives. While

participation by individual businesses (and their customers) would be

voluntary in any case, a coordinated approach could be most productive

and efficient for businesses and their patrons. Here are a few examples

for your consideration prior to the discussion on July 14:

Add 1% to the sales ticket – customer would authorize adding 1% to their

purchase, a function typically completed at a register or by other

electronic means at the time of purchase.

Customer chooses to add $1 to $5 – this a common promotion offered by

retailers. Customers would be asked: “Would you like to add a dollar as a

contribution to the Community Center?” During the holiday season,

Salvation Army utilizes small slips marked in either $1 or $5

denominations, rung up and thus added to the purchase. The business

would then transfer a cumulative amount to community center building

fund.

Counter-top container for “loose change” – small, attractive clear

plastic containers could be produced for placement near the register to

encourage donations.

One-time or annual business contribution – in the event that these

(above) or other options prove impractical for certain businesses and/or

professional offices, a direct business contribution may prove to be the

most productive way to participate.

Those who have been working on the Holmen Area Community Center are

anxious to hear from area business leaders. We welcome this opportunity

for input on July 14. Your cooperation and good counsel are essential as

we work together to create attractive, accessible facilities for our rapidly-

growing hometown region.

In May, Mike Herro from Xcel Energy provided us with information regarding a pilot program called “Community Shared Solar Gardens.” They are centrally located solar PV arrays that provide electricity to participating subscribers. The partner-developer plans to break ground on two new solar gardens in 2016. One field will be in the Rockland area. Solar gardens make solar energy a possibility for everyone – home owners, renters and businesses. This program allows anyone to “go solar” without having to install and maintain panels.

The Holmen Area Foundation had a wonderful meeting in May hosted by the students at the Academy on the Prairie. The students received cameras through the Viking Fund for Education Excellence Grant, and they highlighted their experience through photos. It was a great morning!
