Campaign Chairs
Now faith is the
assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things
not seen
Matthew 11:1
"The
Take The Signs Down"
Campaign was
a faith walk for each of us, and God has given us the
victory!
The total donated to date in the
fifteen days of "The
Take The Signs Down"
Campaign is $157,300.00.
These funds will be used to pay the fees associated with
completing the work required by the District of Columbia
Government to remove the condemnation signs on a total
of six properties.
Four of the properties are on 9th
Street, NW -1526, 1528, 1532 and 1534. As stated
previously (and to be proactive) work will also be
completed on 1536 9th Street. The contract for the work
to be done on the five houses on 9th Street totals
$48,520.00. The payments made to date total
$24,260.00. There will be an additional cost for brick
work around the windows and rodent proofing for these
properties. This work is to be completed by July 15,
2007.
As of July 1, the contact on the
two condemned properties on 8th Street, NW - 1543 and
1600 had not been signed. We believe, however, the cost
of both contracts should not exceed our targeted goal of
$100,000.00
We will update you on the donations, contracts and
expenses at the next church meeting.
Though the Campaign has ended, we
will continue in our stated path of clarity and
transparency to inform you of any expenditures relating
to the condemned properties and/or
"Take
The Signs Down"
Fund. We thank Charles Randolph,
Trustee Christine Clark, Sarah Jackson and the Finance
Room Committee for all their efforts toward our goal.
We certainly realize that this is
only a temporary step on a long road, but God has
abundantly blessed us thus far. We recognize that the
ultimate goal is to redevelop the properties into
habitable units.
We thank God for the opportunity to
be in His service and our Shiloh family for your words
of love, support and encouragement.
I need you. You need me.
We're all a part of God's body. It is His will that
every need be supplied. Stand with me. Agree with me.
I need you to survive. |
