Town Clock CDC

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Rev. Susan Kramer-Mills

The Town Clock CDC is concentrating its efforts this year on raising funds. Sound all too familiar? Yes! Well, with the funding cuts to all the social service agencies within New Jersey, all trust funds and grant providers for affordable housing are having difficulty. That means that we must concentrate our efforts to raise funds outside of these ‘typical’ agencies, such as the city, county, and state. Frustrating, but it is the reality of the day.

With that being said, we invite you to consider philanthropists you may know, or persons who have board affiliations to organizations which provide grants. We would be delighted to hear about any contacts. This project is an amazing opportunity to do something unique to an historic structure. Just today, I explained to Erie about how the fire in the sanctuary in 1971 was laid by man, whose girlfriend we were supporting. He was abusing her, and we were giving her shelter. Our choice for building 11 units of permanent supportive housing for women and their children stems from this event. What a wonderful way to make something good out of something that destroyed the interior so long ago! Continue reading →

Relics and Rubbish

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Rev. Dr. Hartmut Kramer-Mills

We had an event of a different kind on January 7, when our Fundraising Team hosted an Antiques’ Appraisal in fellowship hall. Joseph Bodnar and colleague Allen had come to introduce us to the auctioneer’s profession and to offer opportunity to have heirlooms and other antiques appraised. It was an Antiques Roadshow of sorts and turned out to be highly educating. In fact, there was so much suspense in the room that I did not even offer a church tour! We still had a table with church artifacts displayed. Please see the pictures. Continue reading →
