All Are Welcome
Capital Campaign
Update

The pledges to the campaign have now exceeded $1.2 million, and gifts have exceeded $750,000. From the gifts received thus far, we have been able to complete the sewer project at a cost of over $234,000 and pay off most of the campaign costs. At a special service as part of the Fall Festival on September 16, ground was broken for the first new cabin. Working plans for this building are on the architect’s drawing board. He is also formulating plans for updating Walnut Lodge, remodeling some cabins, and constructing the Senior-Friendly Lodge. These are exciting times and we look forward to seeing construction equipment arriving at camp in the near future.

The congregation phase of the campaign continues with several congregations conducting fall campaigns. If you think your congregation has not yet become involved, please call the camp office for an update. We have staff members available for training of congregation leaders at any time. The training is simple and takes only about 2 hours. All materials and information to conduct a local campaign are available immediately at no cost to the congregation. To reach our primary goal of $1.5 million we must involve more congregations in the Ewalu constituency.

If you would like to make a major gift to this campaign, please contact the Executive Director, Dale Goodman at 563-933-4700.
