Approved
Campaign
success
To date (10/31/10), we have raised $3.333
million to fund our new narthex, the elevator and parking
upgrades. The original $3.8 million was pledged, so we expect the rest
to come in by the end of this calendar year, completing our original
budget. Thank you so much to all the families and individuals who have
generously given (and are still giving) to this
campaign.
Why extend the
campaign?
In December, our three-year capital
campaign was due to come to a close. However, because we accelerated
approximately $1.4 million of projects and expenses from phase two of
our master plan into phase one for cost-saving measures, the STM
Planning Team elected to extend the campaign for one year. Building Our
Future in Faith will now conclude December 15, 2011. More information
about the campaign extension will be available soon.
