Fund-raising Activities

Our activities in 2010 and 2011 will focus on fund-raising to pay the costs of interior renovations on the house - the second phase of the project, scheduled to be carried out next summer. Activities will include grant applications and appeals to individuals and businesses, combined with efforts to increase our membership and hold fund-raising events in local communities.
