A THREE YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN TO RAISE $78,000

In order to keep everyone aware of our progress in raising the necessary funds for this project, we have generated some symbols that will make our progress visible to the congregation, and give each member a target to shoot for in achieving the goal: 1. Contribution Target Definitions: SQUARE, BUNDLE, BRICK. 2. A Square represents 100 sq ft of Roofing and our roof required 125 Square. 3. There are three (3) Bundles of Shingles to a Square. 4. A Brick is a Brick, and we will need approximately 570 to repair the damage. CONTRIBUTION GUIDELINES 1. We established a price of a Square at $510. 2. We established a price of a Bundle at $170. 3. We established a price of a Brick at $25. 4. When we have three (3) Bundle contributions, we will fill a Square. 5. When we have sold 125 Squares, we will have a total of $63,750 towards our goal. 6. When we have sold 570 Bricks, we will have $14,500 to reach our goal of $78,000.
