“$225,000 for the Historic Properties Foundation in 2017”.“Congratulations to all of us. The new roof on the Church was installed on budget and on time. Contributions to the Historic Properties Foundation made this possible (and thanks to Gary Burroughs and Alan Magnacca for supervising the contract delivery). But there is more to be done. The next phase of our restoration project is the restoration and repointing of the exterior stone work and the window frames. We have established the goal of raising $225,000 in 2017 (the 225th anniversary of St Marks) – or a thousand dollars per year. We have already received some contributions which bring the fundraising target down to just under $200,000 So please think of St Marks at Christmas and in 2017.” If you would like to speak one of the committee members about this fundraiser here are the names of who they are.
