The success of the Harvey Hall is gaining momentum! If you’ve been following the Harvey Hall Facebook page or have seen recent activity – what IS that huge pile of railroad ties for? – at and around the hall, you’ve been witness to on-going progress!
With the currently small but dedicated team of volunteer board members, advisors and interested and willing helpers, there is MOMENTUM in effort! And it’s gaining! So far, two funding grants have recently been awarded for tens of thousands of dollars for major restoration projects, work teams have gathered to plan, engineer, and facilitate their implementation, fundraising efforts big and small have generated interest and enjoyment for those undertaking and participating in them. Also, just as importantly, we’ve welcomed several newcomers to the group who have diverse skills, interests, talents, and ambition to help bring the Harvey Hall back to its glory.

“It’s perfect timing!” was enthusiastically called out to welcome several newcomers at the most recent board meeting that gathered around a wobbly table in the fading sunlight coming through the tall windows. The meeting was efficient (the circuit breakers aren’t yet switched on) to conduct business before darkness fell. It’s perfect timing to be part of the momentum of ongoing success. Often folks lose faith of accomplishment when hurdles and obstacles are daunting and seem insurmountable. Though progress has been slow, it has certainly been amazing and worthwhile. Now, with the timing of the seasons, families are getting back into routines with school resuming, the local tourist season is easing and the ‘new normal’ of being able to gather socially and with cause is igniting some folks’ need for purpose.
The history of the Harvey Hall is long, the people who have helped, enjoyed, performed and gathered there have spanned over a century. If you find you’re seeking purpose, being part of a camaraderie of community, eager to support a local cause, have devotion to the history and legacy of a New Brunswick icon, you’re invited to join, too. When the doors reopen, you’ll be proud and part of that new day in Harvey Hall History. The timing is perfect!
