Center Revenue Sources

The Center receives income from several sources. Here is a
visual picture of our revenue sources so far this year.

Of the contributions we receive, the vast majority come from
people who share their annual giving plan by completing a
Giving Plan Card.

Renovation and Renewal Update:
Five years ago we established a long-range plan for the care of our
facility. With your support we have stayed on track to keep our Center robust and beautiful. Pictured here are volunteers completing the build-out of our stage area.

Upcoming Renovation Projects

Some of the things scheduled for the near future include…
Parking lot seal and stripe ......................... $31,000
Retile Sanctuary floor ............................... $60,000
Replace youth classroom wall divider ........ $6,000
Kitchen renovation...................................... $3,500

Longer range considerations are…
HVAC systems replacement ($160,000 over 4 years)
Repaint Sanctuary and Social Hall (To be estimated)

Goals for the Year

We learned in our Pledgers Forums that folks want to know
what our annual financial goals are. For 2012 our goals are
To receive Giving Plan Cards totaling $825,000 in Regular
Contributions representing 67% of our estimated
operating budget. This is a 3% increase over 2011 that we
feel can be easily achieved to cover our operating
expenses and replenish the Center’s savings.
To receive Giving Plan Cards totaling $60,000 in planned
giving for our Renovation Fund to continue the ongoing
renewal of our spiritual home.

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Mary Ann Granieri

"I’ve always loved using my talents to contribute in some way to my community. It brings me a sense of satisfaction and well-being to help create, nurture, and sustain a healthy spiritual community that in turn supports and sustains so many others, individually as well as those in our local and global communities. Volunteering at the Center has allowed me to meet new people in a way that’s been easy and fun. A spirit of camaraderie easily develops as we collaborate on a common goal. I’ve developed dear friendships with some of the people I’ve met volunteering. It’s also created an opportunity to work with and get to know many of the talented and hard-working staff and ministers who are so dedicated to this Center. My appreciation for CSLSR and for everyone who contributes to it has grown immensely as I’ve glimpsed a bit of what goes on behind the scenes. As I’ve been able to contribute and create by volunteering, I’ve also received much. I feel truly seen, valued, and appreciated....

What I Love About Being a Volunteer - Bette Smith

"I love volunteering at the Center because I get so much in return. I meet new and interesting people and connect with people I haven’t seen in years. I like working behind the scenes so I help Allan Yeager with some parts of the website which is a job I can do from home. I work in the bookstore where I’m surrounded by beautiful items for sale. And I love teaching classes because I have benefited so much from all the classes I’ve taken.  Coming to the Center for over twenty five years has changed my life. I love giving back my beloved Center that has fed me and helped me grow." -Bette Smith
