$20,000 Raised Goal $80,000 Work Bee November 11-16 Gifts to Date The goal is to raise $80,000 in 80 days. We are 1/4 the way there -- we currently have $20,000 that has been donated since the campaign started. You need to be a part of reaching this goal. Remember, for each dollar you give, a generous donor will match it dollar for dollar. Donate now or make a commitment that will be paid by January 31, 2008. Another Challenge IncentiveWoody Ross, now living in Lodi and running the art session at Albion each June, is offering a number of his paintings as an incentive to donate to the $80,000 in 80 days campaign. For gifts of $5,000 up to $9,999, he will give you a choice of several of his smaller framed and matted paintings. For gifts of $10,000 or more he is offering his larger paintings. These paintings are of the Albion and coastal areas. Below are photos of these paintings that are hanging in the dining room at Albion.
Check on our Progress on the PUC Web Page
There is a special page on the PUC web site that is plotting the progress of the campaign. Go to the PUC WEB SITE and click on the Albion Renovation Campaign. The thermometer will tell you how we are doing. There are photos of the Field Station in the early days when the property was first purchased for $5,000. Other photos show the progress in the camp to what it looks like currently. Have a look!
How $1,000 will become $4,000
Jim and Karyn Marxmiller have been very strong supporters of Albion over the years. Jim teaches Biology at Mountain View Adventist Academy and takes his students to Albion for instruction in Marine Biology each fall. Karyn works for Sun Microsystems in Sunnyvale. Jim and Karyn decided they were going to contribute $1,000 to the campaign. Sun matches charitable gifts dollar for dollar up to $1,000. So, when Karyn gave her $1,000 Sun also contributed a matching $1,000 making a total donation of $2,000. Because of the challenge gift, the $2,000 will become $4,000. This could not have happened if Jim and Karyn had not initiated the original donation. If your employer has a matching philanthropic gift program, start the ball rolling by a gift that can quadruple!
Next Work Bee
The next work bee is scheduled for November 11-16. We need all who can help. The goal is to finish the cedar siding, plumb the tankless water heaters, wire the sleeping lofts, hang the outside doors to Capella and generally complete a punch list of items in preparation for the dry wall and the upcoming rainy season.
How to Give or Make a Commitment
Don't Forget the Work Bee Plan to come to the work bee. We need the volunteer labor as much as we need the funds for completing the project. Call Gibby or Larry or Wil Cook at the Field Station to let us know you are coming. Currently Dave Wiebe is on medical leave until mid-December so your calls should be directed to Wil Cook, our chef and acting Station Manager.
