Lighten your load and help us
out... You've probably heard that we received a large bequest from Cassandra's estate. That fund is restricted to some major projects, such as the long desired and needed bathhouse, which construction will start later in the spring, and replacing the dying deep cycle batteries in the solar power system. We're still in the process of decision making on what's most important to use the remaining funds. Water catchment is another priority because our well now produces very little water, so we're considering drilling another - cost estimated between $10,000 - $15,000. MAJOR, IMMEDIATE NEEDS You can donate an item or funds restricted exclusively to purchasing that item, and we must honor that intent.
