from Fran Neat and the Mary's House committee

We are well on our way. Donations are coming in at a quickening pace. The total cash received as of Friday evening, July 13, 2012, stood at over $10,000. That still leaves just a little less than $30,000 to go, so we still need your help!We've received checks from many places. One church sent $1,000. An individual in Lexington sent $500. Churches, organizations, and individuals from all over Adair County and far beyond are pitching in; we are determined to be ready to start by the deadline we set.

About the project

All donations will be escrowed until 100% of the funds are raised. Land and labor have already been donated. Checks are to be made to Cane Valley Christian Church Benevolence Fund with a memo of "Mary's House." Please make all donations by August 1 so that construction can begin.

Mary's House raises funds with fair parking



2012-07-16 - Photo by Fran Neat. Kyle Cundiff, a member of the Mary's House Committee, held a sign urging fairgoers to use the Joe Pyles Brick Yard parking lot at the corner of Fairground and Wain Streets. The use of the lot was a big boost to the goal of raising $40,000 by August 1, 2012, to build a home for the McGuffin family. Over $650 was raised with this single project, with over $250 coming in from the huge crowd at the Saturday, July 14, 2012 finale. At the end of that day, we had a total received of $10,221.00 cash in hand. Still a long way of our goal, but we have faith that we're going to make it. (But, over the weekend, we don't have any new receipts to report just yet, so give one of our members a call. - Fran Neat Clicking ReadMore accesses earlier story with list of all contact's for Mary's House.
