Capital Campaign Goal: facility's renovation
Our successful Capital Campaign 2016 enabled our center to acquire a former Methodist church in Rensselaer NY in January 2017. The facility includes a concert/theater hall, exhibition hall/ballroom/banquet hall, meeting room, kitchen, and three classrooms. We were very excited about it, and now are facing a new chapter in our Capital Campaign to renovate the building to accommodate the needs of the cultural center. We need to build a stage in the concert hall, remove old carpet and place the hardwood floor in the entrance hall, repair the leaking roof, renovate the kitchen and bathroom, install air conditioning system and repaint the walls throughout the building. The total estimated cost of the renovations is $35,000.
