Update posted April 15, 2024

22 pledges so far totaling $9,650!
We now have reached 71.5% of our monetary goal.

We are not going to dictate a recommended pledge amount, but the truth of the matter is that we are drawing upon a fairly restricted number of potential households to fund this $13,500 project. Realistically that number would be around 60 residences. If we could get 60 commitments for $225.00 each, we would meet our goal. That being said, it’s probable that some folks will completely ignore this issue. It’s also true that some of us are in a position where we can commit more. Tricia and I view this as a “legacy” gift that will benefit this place that has meant so much to us…forever. Therefore, we intend to pledge significantly more than $225.00. It is, as noted time and time again on this website a ONE-TIME commitment. We are retired and on a fixed income. It’s going to require us to access some funds we would not otherwise be tapping into at this point in our lives. We are going to tighten our belts and absorb a temporary blow for the long-term benefits that will result. We think it’s worth the pain.

Truthfully we live in a wonderful place that demands relatively little of us. We hope you will view this project as we do and will give generously.
