either an actual brick in the walkway to the building,
or a wall in the entrance.  All funds will be held in
an interest bearing escrow account, to be used
exclusively for the purchase of a building, until such
time as we have secured enough funding for the
project.
Please contribute $500 one-time, or $45 each month for
a year to fund the project.  Each donor will receive
one pin (pictured above), and the chance to make a
difference in the future.  Whether a youth drop-in
center or a senior social club, your donation insures
a community center for generations now and to come.
