Jay and Tiff at the
Yaak River in Montana December 2012
With the cabins shut
down for the winter, and the start of a new year, it’s a good time to look back
at some of the highlights of 2012.
1.)
Guests
·
65 people stayed at the ranch last year.
·
38 of those people were new guests of the ranch
2.)
Remodel
·
The blue cabin got new floors, kitchen countertop, an interior paint job and
a new bathroom
·
The red cabin also got new floors and a new interior
paint job
·
The tan cabin got a new porch
·
The cabin area got refurbished picnic tables
3.)
Non-Profit
·
We received our status as a Charity from the
state of Washington
·
The application has been submitted to the IRS for
501(c)3 (tax exempt)Status. We are
currently waiting for approval. The process generally takes 3-9 months.
·
We have formed a Board Of Directors for Living
Springs Ranch
·
November 1, 2012 we held our first Board meeting
to discuss the goals and direction of the Ranch.
4.)
Supporters
·
We’ve met many new people this past year who are
interested in volunteering, encouraging, and supporting us.
·
We have our first monthly financial donors
Looking ahead to
2013, it is exciting to contemplate the possibilities!
1.)
Guests
·
We are planning to reopen the cabins on April 1st.
·
We already have a total of 29 days booked this
coming year by pastors and their family
2.)
Finances
·
Our financial goal this year is to have $1,000 a
month coming in from monthly donors.
$12,000 a year will help to cover the minimum operating costs of running
the Ranch.
·
We already have $350 a month coming in
·
We still need $650 a month to reach our goal
·
We are looking for supporters who would like to
support us with a monthly gift of $25, $50, or $100. We would appreciate your
prayerful consideration.
Thank you all for your love, prayers and support!
Blessings,
Jay and Tiffany
