We have applied and been approved for the building permits by the city. We are complete with the Architect's construction designs, and we are in the process of requesting RFPs from contractors. Everything is coming in place to have ground breaking in 2009. It's now up to us to make our pledge individually or in your family's name, to reach the goal we have set, $3,000,000 for us to start the Family Center this year. If you have not pledged yet, please do so now. And those who have pledged consider increasing your pledge. You can arrange for your pledge to be paid over the next 3 to 5 years, weekly, monthly, quarterly or bi-annually. Everyone's name will be posted on the Angel Board and increased to a higher level if you contribute more than you originally stated. Drop your pledge envelope off now and get your name on the Angel Board showing you helped make the Family Center legacy happen.
