THANK YOU!
31 March 2020Well, that escalated quickly! On the 15th of March our campaign came to a close. With your help, a grand total of $42,433.00 has been raised towards the Wangapeka Power Supply Upgrade.
We are so grateful to each and every one of the 65 donors who gave so generously, beyond our expectations. A huge thank you also goes out to all those who gave their time to help shape the campaign, and everyone who helped spread the word.
---- Final numbers:
Direct Donations: $29,733.00
16 Donations from 15 Donors
Givealittle Donations: $12,800.00
55 Donations from 60 Donors
Total Donations: $42,433.00
71 Donations from 65 Donors
This leaves just a small contribution from the centre’s reserve fund to make up the balance.
---- Where are we up to now?
Patrick, our Land Caretaker has widened the track in preparation for crane access. This involved removing an apple tree, whose last fruitful offerings were quickly stewed and stored during Tarchin’s retreat. The centre is welcoming donations of apple trees to replace the one that was removed.
Our plan was that the contractors would come and install the new pole and transformer between the 7th and 9th April, promptly followed by having the area surveyed to ensure Network Tasman have an easement on the land and finally the electrician to do the wiring. Of course with the recent announcement of Covid19 Alert Level 4, this is now going to be delayed however, all the arrangements are in place and ready to go as soon as we are able.
We will send further updates and photos as the situation and work progresses.
Thank you again for your incredible support.
