4. Temple and Community Center Update
HSSI has been a long time lessee of UUCCI and has been looking for a permanent worship home since 2011
With your help HSSI purchased 2 acres adjacent to the UUCCI in 2015.
We will use the house that is on the property as a temporary temple till the main temple is built
We plan on building a purpose driven facility for HSSI on this land
Because we are in a small city with limited patrons, we plan on building our own facility and also benefit from sharing facilities with UUCCI. This will help us leverage the assets more effectively
We plan on sustaining our activities through membership and a capital campaign. We need your help
We have a core group of dedicated volunteers helping us. We need more
