2015 Brings Us To A Critical Period In The Project
We need to maintain cash flow and eliminate our funding gap by September 30, 2015. We earnestly request payment of pending pledges amounting to $265,112 as of January 31, 2015.
WE NEED TO BRIDGE THE FUNDING GAP and raise approximately $100,000 per month for the next 8 months so as not to slow down construction.
CURRENT FUNDRAISER. The Fundraising Committee has worked very hard on numerous projects that have added significantly to the New Building Fund. Our current project, which has the makings of a grand slam, is the sale of exquisite Zarathushtra Votive by Lladro. Please support this initiative and spread the word.
Our sincerest thanks to each and every donor who has contributed to make this project possible. We humbly request community members who have not yet donated to please donate NOW. We will be happy to answer any questions / provide additional information / specific details to help you decide favorably. At this time, we have the support of approximately 270 families and our goal is to have 100% participation from our tri-state community members. Together, let us make our new Darbe Mehr a community effort and be proud of our achievement!
