Some preliminary construction has already been completed. Center Maintenance Offerings We would like to take a moment to explain the current financial condition of the center. First, thank you for your dedicated service to Su God, and your devoted support of the New York center. We are forcasting that our monthly expenses will rise to an average of $24,000 per month. If our maintenance offerings remain at the current level of $19,950, then we will have an average monthly deficit of $4,050. We are asking each member to offer $65 to the center maintenance each month. If this is done, then we will have sufficient funds to allow us to remain at our present location. If you are not able to offer this suggested $65, please try to do your best to offer a minimum of $30. We request your best effort to support the center maintenance. Emergency Planning We continue to encourage our members to follow the recommendations of the Red Cross and FEMA regarding preparations for emergencies. Please prepare a three day backpack as soon as possible.
