Nurturing & Preserving Our Sacred Space
Tax deductible
Dear Ashram Friends,
I trust this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. As Springs blossoms have burst forth we celebrate GOOD NEWS! We have reached one of our goals, to install a NEW SEPTIC TANK at Sapphire House. With great gratitude we say THANK YOU to our cherished community for support during a critical time. Some donations came through straight to the Ashram, hence reflected on this new needed number.
Our Income and Operating account reserves have been dwindling, and our expenses are still soaring. Our Winter Reserve is nearly depleted, and while we have managed to allocate funds wisely, we still find ourselves facing two unforeseen and substantial expenses.
1) Main House Stairs and Walkway Replacement: The stairs, walkway and retaining wall into the Main House urgently need replacement, as the current condition poses safety concerns. Estimates for this project, considering road work and drainage issues, indicate a potentially high cost. Immediate attention is necessary, and we aim to complete this task as early as spring. Approximately $30,000
2) Install UV System at Panini House: (Board of health required) for well water. Approximately $7,000
Septic Tank Replacement at Sapphire House: UNDERWAY~
Despite these challenges, we have a vision for the future, and with your continued generous support, we can ensure that the Main House, the heart of our Ashram, continues to flourish. Guruji's teachings, the Cosmic Temple, and the Temple of Light all find their home in this sacred space.
With the glorious Ashram Summer approaching, we see this as a perfect opportunity to come together as a community and raise the rest of the funds needed for these essential projects.
