Wanna Help??


So, now the fun begins ...

We have a plan ... we have a vacant lot ... we have an insurance settlement - but we have some money to raise ...

If you're interested in helping the folks of Minnedosa United Church bring this plan into fruition, there are a number of ways you can help ...

At Chipperfield Coffee Company and Minnedosa Bowl, local artist Cathy Mansell is selling a lovely print of her drawing of our former historic building. Available in a variety of sizes, they make a lovely present for people who may have a connection to the old building and want to remember it as it was.

And at Flowers on Main, there is a quaint Circle of Friends candleholder that is being offered as a fund raiser for our rebuilding effort. This Circle of Friends is three cute snow men, holding candles, surrounding a small candle ... we have one on the coffee table in the living room of our home. It's very cute - and a portion of the proceeds come to the rebuilding effort.

Or, as noted in the recent Minnedosa Tribune article, monetary donations may be directed to the Rebuilding Fund. Tax reciepts WILL be issued for all donations, and you can designate gifts to three areas - music, stained glass and sanctuary or you can just donate it to the general rebuilding fund.

105 Years ago our Presbyterian forbearers built a building for a whopping $5000 ... it will cost us in excess of 1.5 million dollars to replace it. So, we'll appreciate any help that can be offered and given ... if you wanna help, search out a print or a Cricle of Friends candle holder and consider purchasing one or four or more for friends and family ... every little bit helps ...

So, I've offered some suggestion ... feel free to lend a hand ...
