November 13 Fundraising Dinner

On Thursday, November 13, 2008, we will be holding a special Fundraising Dinner at the NDHQ Warrant Officer's and Sergeant's Mess, downtown (near Lisgar Collegiate). This will be a semi-formal event, and we will be providing an evening of dinner and entertainment as well as an opportunity for people to donate toward our fundraising goals.

Our goal is to raise about $130,000 in cash or loan commitments over the coming year, which is how much money is required to build our first cabins, washhouses and outhouses (to supplement our flush toilets, until such time as we can build additional toilets), water purification system, road work, purchase activity supplies, etc. We will require all of the above to be in place in order to run camp out of the new site. Our hope is that this will be ready in time for summer 2009. We know it's a challenging goal, but we also firmly believe that God has been great in providing for all of our needs in the past, and we are confident that He will continue to provide as we need it. I don't have the figures in front of me, but by my estimate we have already raised about $60,000 in cash or loans. We're almost half-way there!

If you are interested in attending our fundraising dinner, please contact us by phone at (613) 288-5806 or email info@cherith.ca. We look forward to seeing you there!
