Annual Campaign 2012-13 Update
May 16, 2012
The budgeting process is well underway. Both the staff and the Board are working
extremely hard to craft the best budget they possibly can.
As you know from the recent newsletter and Michael’s
pulpit words, we are in a difficult
place. We are behind last year in both
number of pledges and total amount pledged.
Here are our numbers as of May 16, 2012:
- 717 pledges
in - nineteen in this last week for a total of $26,000.
- $1,084,000
total pledge amount in, $296,000 from our goal of $1,380,000
-
The good news is that the average pledge amount has increased by
about $150!
-
But, we are facing some serious cuts in the operating budget
if we do not reach our goal. The budgeting team needs your help NOW.
If you have already pledged, thank you: it is greatly
appreciated.
If you have not, please take some time now to give it
some good, hard, serious thought and make the most generous pledge you possibly
can at /ACforms. If you
are in a place that you are unable to make a firm decision regarding your
pledge, try to give us a ball park amount. You can always change your pledge at a later date.
If you have any questions or need more information, please

Annual Campaign Update
Good news - we received 19 pledges for $26,000 in the last week. However, as of May 14 we are 283 pledges and $296,000 short of our goal. Unfortunately this means we are planning significant cuts in staff and benefits funding. Please come to the Parish Meeting on May 20 to learn more.
