Because of the summer travel season, August traditionally has lower offerings. This month we also had additional expected expenses, leading to a deficit at the end of the month. Trinity has made payments of $368,196 so far for the parking lot project and we have only had to borrow $45,000 from our Line of Credit. Thank you for your generous giving to our Capital Appeal.
