Hello Deer Flat
We wanted to give you a few updates on the building project. First I have some exciting news in regards to finances. This week we exceeded $.5 million and are now
at $501,306! Wow and to think we have not even broke ground
yet. You are all amazing and your
support is not only necessary but greatly appreciated! As a reminder, our original pledges were a little
over $1.6 million and with a few that came in afterward, it increased to about
$1.7 million. In addition to this we
have a number of people/companies who have committed products/services to the
project totaling an estimated $300,000.
Not to mention those of you who have volunteered your time and skills
through the process. Once again thank
you for your commitment to this project and our children.
The weather along with some challenges with septic system
has delayed us some. However, with the
help of the architects and engineers we have avoided a couple of potentially
very costly requirements. With these
issues now resolved we hope to get back on track soon.
Below I have outlined where we are in the project.
