Fund Raising Update – Now Your Dollars Can Go Even Further

I have exciting news for those of you who can give a little more.  A recent resolution by the SPNW board – sponsored by members of our group – allows every dollar we raise toward a loan to be considered a grant that the group will not have to repay. The $7000 loan we have from the housing fund will turn into a grant once an additional $1,511 has been raised. Please consider donating these funds at your earliest possible opportunity.

I am happy to report that we have just received a generous donation from Subud California at Arcata of $500. This is a significant step toward reaching the member 47% share of costs to repair our building.  Remember the Centerprise will provide 53% of these costs ($12,253) which are now at $23,119.

Outside of the loan from SPNW we still need to raise an additional $3,866.  Any funds you can provide for this effort will assist us in meeting these costs.  We have currently raised $5,489.

Note: Should you be able to pledge to contribute these funds, please let me know and I will add your name to those who have pledged.  Currently we have remaining pledges of $300.

More Upcoming Events!

Menucha Jobs
Subud Pacific Northwest has many positions for Menucha filled.  More are needed!  Please contact Hadijah O’Bar.  SPNW also still DESPERATELY needs a vice chair and a secretary.  If you don’t feel you can do either of those, please consider if you would have the time to help in other ways-transcribing minutes in free time, etc.  Again, please contact Hadijah O’Bar.

Matching Donations! If you donate to Subud Pacific Northwest at Seattle and earmark your donation to go toward the painting project, your gift will be matched by the SPNW housing fund.  Please hurry-our final bill will be coming any day!

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Menucha needs a registrar, a coordinator, a gift shop person, and general help.  If no volunteers, it may not be possible to occur this year.
  Subud Pacific Northwest needs a vice-chair and a secretary.  If you take the position, you get the juice!
Community partnership
The Community Partnership came into being over 20 years ago with an article that Hanafi Libman set up with his company Coldwell Banker. Whenever a commission is received, they can distribute to a 501c organization and this is then distributed to the group. He asks the seller who it’s donated to. So if you have a home to sell this is a way that funds can be distributed to Subud or other organizations.
