Where does the money come from?
How is the money spent?
How do I make a donation?
To make a donation please send your cheque
or money order to: The Secretary, Friends of Tomerong Union Church Inc., C/o
Tomerong Post Office, TOMERONG 2540 and make your remittance payable to the
Friends of Tomerong Union Church Inc. Thank You.
What will the money be used
for?
FOTUC has had several building inspections
conducted that have focussed on assessing the repair and preservation of the
buildings and the heritage aspects of these tasks. Of prime importance are the
replacement of the roofing and the provision of adequate drainage. This is what
FOTUC has focussed on first. Other tasks include (but are not limited to) pest
control, building painting and flooring repairs.
What methods are being used
to finance the building maintenance, preservation and restoration?
In November 2001 we posted over 430 letters
giving the recipients the opportunity to contribute financially to the project.
About half of the mail out was to local residents and 50 of the remainder were
to religious institutions. Most of those outside the village had been
purchasers of the Tomerong local history book.
We have applied for several heritage
assistance grants via the local council and have been successful. Other
applications for grants via heritage and other government and non-government
institutions have not yet been successful. We shall continue to investigate
other avenues of funding, as well as attracting material donations and
commercial support. We have received voluntary work via the Work for the Dole
scheme and have working bees but our major efforts have been in fundraising to
employ contractors sympathetic to our cause.
How do I find out more
information?
Read the minutes,
read the rules, come to our next meeting and/or contact the committee. If you feel you can assist us in
fundraising, gaining material donations, providing advice (building, heritage
etc.) or by some other means please contact us and we will put you in touch
with the FOTUC member who deals with that area.
