Thank you to everyone who supported the Thank you to everyone who supported the $3.0 in
24MO! Campaign and to those who attended the reception. This two year campaign officially ended on October 31, 2016. To date, the campaign allowed us to pay for the cost of nearly two of the five
floors. Your generosity has been overwhelming.
As you can see, we still have a way to go. For those who have not completed their pledge, we want you to continue your payments even though the campaign has ended from an accounting point of
view. All of your future payments will be noted to your pledge. We ask you to continue to support AbyWest. New initiatives will roll out soon as we continue to forge ahead to reach our goal of
$8MM to complete the entire five floor community center.
We continue to strive to attain 100% participation because we want others to know our membership is committed to this effort. Your support is greatly appreciated!
