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.

Thank you for helping us! We had a nice turn out to help with seeding the grass areas of the building site. Despite the wind and dust, we completed the ball diamonds, volleyball courts, detention basins and lawn areas around the building pad.

After clearing out rocks and smoothing the ground, we seeded the ground and spread straw on top. We all enjoyed a nice box lunch from Subway.

We are pleased to announce we have Ahava coffee mugs available to help fund the activity center building cost. Learn more on our Donation page.

No audio is available for the public intrest meeting.
