(excerpts from July/August 2022 Newsletter)
Dear Members,
Five years ago, prior to purchasing the building, we had a local contractor assess the condition of the roof. The report indicated the roof would need replaced within the next 3-5 years. Roof replacement has been a part of our renovation plans, and has very recently been escalated to priority #1.
An anonymous donor has come forward with a generous gift. The donor will match donations, dollar for dollar, up to $20,000, for replacement of the roof. If we exceed our goal, monies collected over the cost of the project will be added to our Capital Fund Drive Campaign. Bids for the work will be accepted this fall, with intended completion date of Spring 2023. All donations are welcome, either via check or via PayPal on our website at madisonohiohistoricalsociety.org/donations/
Sincerely,
Dianne Cross
Following the acquisition of the old village hall, our Capital Fund Drive was initiated, and today, we are at approximately 50% of our goal of $275,000. Because of your generosity, improvements began in 2021. The following is a brief report of our needs and status update through 2025:
The exact schedule of the work to be done remains in flux due to the times and supply chain disruptions, and with old buildings, priorities may change.
The Madison Historical Society is a 501(c)3 corporation, and most donations have tax advantages. You can support MHS through making a donation, shopping with Amazon Smile, a tax-free IRA Contribution, or a gift of Stock.
