Ceremonial  Target Completion May Move A Little
While construction continues well generally, a delay in delivery of the HVAC equipment may delay our final completion.
Town  New Funding Campaign
Last week saw the kick-off of the "Sprint to the Finish" Campaign which tries to reduce our future debt load as the construction rapidly comes to an end. All should have received by now our mailing.
 
There are a number of suggestions for support. If you feel that you cannot give immediate help, think of pledging or extending your existing pledge so that we will know how to deal with any resulting debt.
 Spending on Phase I through January 31, 2010BuildingCommittee
