Dear Parishioner,
Over the past several years St. Anne’s Vestry has proceeded to make enhancements to the church and the surrounding grounds. Examples include:
- City water tie-in
- New wood floors in the common areas
- Walkway ramps, new railings and roof over exit doors
- Electrical upgrades
- New kitchen appliances and upgrades
- New exit door in the nursery school room
The total investment in these improvements was over $120,000.
As we look to the future, the Vestry’s near term goals are to continue strengthening our church through the attraction of new members, avoiding major unexpected expenditures, and maintaining our nursery school and other income sources. To achieve these near term goals, the Vestry has identified the following objectives and specific scope items to aid in meeting these objectives.
| Objectives |
| 1: Attract new and retain existing members to the church |
| 2: Improve overall curb appeal and attractiveness of the church |
| 3: Perform minor maintenance to prevent future major maintenance issues |
| 4: Maintain income generating opportunities |
| Scope Items |
| 1: Resurfacing of the parking lot |
| 2: Upgrade bathrooms |
| 3: Improvements to landscaping |
| 4: Refurbishment of playground equipment |
| 5: Install electronic programmable signage |
The list on the next page will show which particular scope item supports a specific objective. Please note that all scope items support at least three of the four objectives.
- Attract new and retain existing members to the church
- Resurfacing of the parking lot

A rough estimate for the construction and installation of the scope items above is approximately $100,000. It is anticipated that building/installing the stated scope items will be pursued over the next several years, consistent with the timing of receipt of the necessary capital funds. Prior to moving forward, the Vestry feels it is important to solicit input from the congregation as to which items to prioritize and to what investment level the congregation is willing to support. Based on the congregation’s input a final plan will be developed. The following survey will provide the necessary information needed to finalize the plan. All parishioners are encouraged to voice their desires by completing the survey. Please print the Survey form and answer the requested questions. Either scan the completed Survey(s) and return via email or return by postal mail to the address above, or return the completed surveys to the church on Sunday.
The surveys need to be received by May 15th.
Thank you.
The Capital Campaign Committee
