The Long-Term Planning Committee outlines a comprehensive fundraising strategy to secure $250,000 by December 2011 for a new center. With current pledges of $40,000 and cash on hand of $250,000, we have a solid foundation to explore our options. The plan includes target pledges from devotees, rental considerations, and potential growth opportunities. Our goal is to energize the community, ensuring the financial health and expansion potential of the center while acknowledging the essential spirit behind our mission, as highlighted by Paramahansa Yogananda.
