Ahava Tree Banquet

UPDATE:

A hearty Thank You to each and every one who came to the banquet! What an exciting evening to share good times, food and fellowship. And a special thank you to our young folks and kitchen help for singing and serving your way through the evening!

  • That night, we raised $24,830 toward our Activity Building construction.

  • Robert Barkman and Malin Raber from the Amish community shared their experience with building their own activity center, The Oasis.

  • We have an approved construction loan for $2.5 million, allowing us to plan better for the future.

  • Our goal is order the steel building in May 2022 and pour the footers in the fall.

Thank you again for giving to this point. With your help, we can begin the building operations budgeting and loan repayment pledges.
