That decision was approved in a closed session October 3.

S 2015 Open Door Classic Walk and 5k Run Saturday, March 7, 2015 Conference Center Task Force Receives Challenge Gift To Raise $330k In Six Weeks The South Georgia Conferences Conference Center Task Force has received a challenge gift of $100,000. The gift, which is contingent upon the Conference raising $330,000 by Dec. 15, 2014, will help fund the Conference s planned 8,000 square foot Conference Center. With just six weeks to raise $330,000, Conference Center Task Force chairman Dr. Hal Brady urges all South Georgia United Methodists take part in the campaign. To date, nearly $1.3 million in cash and pledges has been collected. This is a wonderful opportunity to join together to make this a reality, he said. We need the help of all the Annual Conference to meet this initial goal. Before beginning construction, the Conference Center Task Force plans to raise the $433,000 construction costs and then ask the Conference for permission to borrow the remaining $500,000. The loan would be repaid with the $52,650 currently being spent each year in rent for the Episcopal and Administrative Services offices. For the South Georgia Conference to have a home we are asking that individuals throughout South Georgia join us in digging deeper to raise $330,000 by December 15, 2014, Dr. Brady said. Thank you and may God bless our efforts. Visitwww.sgaumc.org/newconferencecenter for more information, floor plans, answers to frequently asked questions, and more. To make a contribution, make checks payable to South Georgia Conference Center and mail to Miriam Hagan, Director of Administrative Services, PO Box 13145, Macon, GA 31208, Macon, GA 31208
