CARMANGAY COMMUNITY CENTER ASSOCIATION

Carmangay Community Associations main focus is to provide an affordable space for community events and activities. The board and volunteers are actively involved in offering events for the community to attend helping to maintain community well being. We currently have 25 volunteers that are active in performing maintenance and cleaning that is required. The volunteers also help to run any of the activities that are offered at the community center such as monthly community breakfasts card nights music jams farmers markets and many more. All donations go directly to the upkeep of the building. The facility is available for rent for events such as birthday or wedding celebrations Christmas parties fitness classes and other classes. The cost of renting the facility is kept affordable due to the unpaid labor of the volunteers and donations and grants received.

The first Agricultural fair in our new building was held in August and was a great success. 2022 was the first year for our monthly card nights bringing community members out to socialize with each other. Summer and Christmas markets were very successful with attendance from surrounding communities. The Lions Club has held its' annual Turkey dinner in the facility and will continue to rent it for future events. The facility has been rented to the community on a regular basis. The rentals continue to increase. New programs such as seminars on gardening during drought and some music recitals have been added. As we are a remote community without amenities the residents enjoy breakfasts and dinners that are put on during the year. Donations were used to add enhancements to the equipment available for use to our patrons. We were able to purchase and install new sound equipment projector and laptop. 2024 saw the addition of more storage room to the community center. This was urgently needed for safety of the equipment as well as the safety of those accessing the equipment.
