January 2010
Thank you to all who have generously contributed to Phase I and making possible the addition of a new unisex restroom, the long-awaited renovation of existing restrooms, and the installation of glass entry doors in the hondo.
Our goal for Phase II of our Centennial campaign is to raise $80,000 by summer of 2010 to realize our Phase II projects.
If you have not yet had the opportunity, we would very much appreciate your kind consideration in helping us to reach our goal.
