BYOT (bring your own tools) to fine tune our garden at Spring Street Center. It is just needing a little weeding, raking, and sweeping love. We are praying for the weather to cooperate!

Restroom Sharing
Sisters, I will put a reminder notice on the inside of the quiet room door nearest the restroom, but remember, we are sharing the restroom with the guests renting the house. We really need to wipe down any surfaces we have touched and sign the sheet that says we did it, for our own safety and that of our guests.
September Financial Report
September 24, 2021
If You Haven’t Donated – Consider Your Donation a direct donation 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’s contributions to Muhammed Subud Foundation and SDIA and it support of members in need.
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.
Our goal for 2021 is to have everyone contribute something 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?
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 September members have contributed $3,010. Combined with $3000 of the income received from our iTrips rentals we now have $6,010 saved for that project. We now need to raise an additional $15,990 before the project can begin.
Building Repairs Fund
We are grateful for members who already have contributed-over and above their regular contributions-to this fund.
iTrip bookings for the remainder of the year will be able to cover some of our costs, but we anticipate that we will need additional contributions from the members. Earmark these donations for the building fund.
Building Rentals
We had 45 days of rentals in September bringing in rental income of approximately $4,196. This will be deposited in October after the income statement is finalized. From the income received, we will retire the remaining $1,000 of our debt to Subud PNW. We will then add an additional $3,000 to the Building Repairs Fund.
Donations
Donations continued their downward trend. September’s contributions were lowest of 2021. If you missed sending in your contribution in September, please consider increasing your donation in October.
