Conclusion  It is my pleasure to introduce & thank the Task Force 2 Team. But, 1st let me say that I am not the Chairperson of this Task Force. I resigned sometime in 2017.

Nancy Collins, Nancy Collins - who has been & is responsible for the Feasibility Study and Funding Approaches portion of the Project Those present are: Fred Wilmot - who has been & is responsible for the Architecture and cost portion of this Project Not Present: Marie Venice – Our Project “Doer”. She contributed ideas, but when we discovered the situation of the Nursery in the damp basement of the Sanctuary, without a ground level exit, in case of fire. She worked with Christian Ed & Buildings & Grounds to “Get that Nursery moved quickly.” Space was available in HH. We didn’t have to wait for anything, Just get things coordinated

Facilities Task Force 2 (TF2) Third Presentation to The Congregation June 16, 2019 3. Feasibility Study Results & Funding Approaches

Facilities Task Force 2 (TF2) Third Presentation to The Congregation June 16, 2019 One of the tasks in our Charter from Session in January, 2017 was to conduct a feasibility study and recommend funding approaches. To that end we researched different avenues of funding, interviewed prospective fundraising organizations and chose the one that was just as competitive as the others but is local rather than national in scope. This organization – The Enrichment Group – has already proven to be an invaluable resource as well as a source of encouragement. Marc Rieke is our consultant and has helped many, many churches in building projects both much larger than ours and much smaller. I know that for Marc, his job is as much a ministry as it is a career. I can say that because he has put in countless hours on our project, including several trips up here to the island (he lives in Tacoma) and he hasn’t been paid a dime. With no doubt or hesitation whatsoever, we unequivocally recommend Marc and The Enrichment Group to lead, guide and direct the fundraising portion of the project that you have been presented with today. The feasibility of the project simply turned out to be a no-brainer. The cost of doing one (a study) would have been about $10,000. Marc, with all of his experience, said that given the scope of our project and the information we gave him regarding our congregation, we could absolutely raise the amount needed… even exceed it… up to $1.3 million. He has seen it done over and over. This project has been a long time Vision – Anyone remember the Generations Project?? With lots of Heart & Brain work! For over 10 Years!! This is the moment of opportunity! You and I don’t know who might be waiting for the golden moment to gift our church with a SIZEABLE donation! But God knows!

Facilities Task Force 2 (TF2) Third Presentation to The Congregation June 16, 2019 We have a healthy (in many respects) congregation with the financial capacity to propel these church facilities into the next generation…and beyond! We have very Fertile ground for a capital campaign.   This is a Time of Stability in our national and local economy. We have Wonderful, grounded Pastoral Leadership!! We are in a mode of discerning and process development here at church ; Marc is our fundraising guide who will walk us through this entire process from before the beginning to the very end, and will be here to celebrate with us when we have our grand opening!! That is a huge gift and blessing! Marc - Has been and IS in touch all along the way –He is local and available and willing and knowledgeable. He is our very own expert! There are Telling indicators of success – the size and age of our congregation … In THIS case, Age is a GOOD thing because there are generally more assets as well as income in an older and more mature congregation. AND they want to leave a legacy to coming generations. I have had conversations with people in our congregation (some of whom have since moved away) who didn’t give for other causes or projects we have had because the vision wasn’t big enough (small thinking). There is money out there! So don’t let our pre-conceived notions limit what God can do! HE has no limits! HIS access to resources is Unlimited! Just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean that it isn’t there or available or accessible.

Facilities Task Force 2 (TF2) Third Presentation to The Congregation June 16, 2019 The Amount of money we are talking about is a challenge, but it’s a ‘right- sized’ challenge. It is very Appropriate.   Just a reminder of the Structure of the project: 1 - Approve the process of the campaign 2 - Get the funding campaign going 3 - THEN start the project, making a BIG production with first shovel of dirt and a kick-off celebration 4 - Lastly – Determine if there is even a need for any of Heathers’ money

Why Hire a Fund-Raising Consultant ? Facilities Task Force 2 (TF2) Third Presentation to The Congregation June 16, 2019 Why Hire a Fund-Raising Consultant ? Having an experienced consultant as a guide through this process will maximize your success - both financially and in terms of congregational health.  My role is to support you in providing a well organized, authentic and credible campaign that seeks to energize the congregation about its mission and calling, and encourage them in the expression of their faith through service and giving.  Our process also purposefully engages as many members as possible so that there is broad-based participation and encourages spiritual growth. The congregation may elect to do an internally-led campaign; however, typical results financially will be far less, and the degree of congregational involvement and investment will be less as well. 3) The costs associated with consultation for a campaign are pennies on the dollar. Their fees for campaigns they've led, have worked out to 4 cents on each dollar raised or less, and the investment in a good process yields a higher financial result far greater than the consultation fee.

4. How Long will we be displaced from the Sanctuary And Heritage Hall   4. How Long will we be displaced from the Sanctuary And Heritage Hall Task Force 2 was assured by architect Stig Carlson that WPC will have access to both buildings on Sundays throughout the construction process. On occasion, use of alternate entrances may be required. Likewise, there is the possibility that the entire facility may not be accessible, but only part during some work weeks.

Facilities Task Force 2 (TF2) Third Presentation to The Congregation June 16, 2019 Additional Recommendations: Restore Blue House to a private residence to replace the function of Oak House Expand Heritage Hall to provide space for the Church Offices and Library to Heritage Hall Move the Church Offices and Library to Heritage Hall expanded lower level As an interim solution, make the Library a Distributed Library – with a reading room in BH where the comfortable sofa is, one copy of each book on shelves where the BH Ministry was, the youth library downstairs where the Youth Group meets, the children’s library near the nursery in the Children’s area.
