Please Contribute – Our goal for 2021 is to have everyone contribute financially toward the upkeep of our center and through it the region. Those who are already contributing monthly have already made their commitment. How about you? Member donations account for only 49% of our building needs. And, they are essential in maintaining our center where we are able to have in-person latihans. 

If you give one time, that contribution will go directly to the region. If you can commit to giving monthly, each month a portion of your contribution will go to the region. 

Future Expenses – Progress on fund raising to repairing the siding on the South side of our building.

Through October members have contributed $3,747. Combined with $6000 of the income set aside from our iTrips rentals we now have $9,747 saved for that project.  We now need to raise an additional $12,253 in order to have the $22,000 needed for this project. We are nearly one half of the way to this goal.  Who will help us there?

Building Repairs Fund

We are grateful for members who already have contributed to this fund – over and above their regular contributions-to this fund. Earmark your checks for any portion of your donation you wish to go to our building fund.

Building Rentals

We had 11 days of rentals in October bringing in rental income of approximately $2,521. This will be deposited in November after the income statement is finalized. From the income received, your committee voted to add an additional $1,000 to the Building Repairs Fund and increase our donation to the region to $700/month.

This Month’s Donation Report

I was grateful to see that your donations increased this month to your usual month giving level. Please check to see If you missed sending in your contribution this Summer. If you did, why not add it to your November contribution? 

Considering donating for the 1^st time –  Your Donation will go directly to Subud PNW

Your committee believes that all members should help contribute to our center and through it to the region.  For those who haven’t yet contributed this year, we’re making the following offer:

Every contribution from anyone who hasn’t contributed this year will go to Subud PNW. These contributions will help Subud PNW to support, among other areas, the following:

– SPNW’s commitment to SUSA and through it to our national cultural wing (SICA) and charity wing (SDUSA)

– SUSA contributions to the World Subud Association, which supports a Caring Fund, helping members in distress and funds International Helper Travel.  

Each year SPNW has relied on extra money from our annual kedjiwan gathering at the Menucha Conference Center to support the work of the region. Due to COVID-19 it has not been possible to hold this event for two years.
