Running the CRC is expensive as we have to maintain 52-acres, 64 rooms, 7 lodges, 2 chapels, 4 conference centers, and a cafeteria. The retreat cost covers the basic retreat operations of utilities, maintenance, custodial, dining, and hospitality but it does not cover much needed renovations to our facility. We have created a strategic plan to improve the facilities and grounds at the CRC and need your help. Our first goal is to raise $147,000 to replace the roofs and add gutters at the CRC. This first step, allows us to protect our facilities and to move forward with the beautification of our buildings. Will you join us to Raise the Roof at the CRC? We are asking each of you to consider what type of donation you can make for our Raise the Roof Campaign. Maybe you can afford: - $30 for a bundle of shingles, - $100 for a section of gutters, - $3,000 to roof a lodge, - $10,000 to roof a Conference Center
