New Roof Fund - Donation Campaign - Please Give Now!
Dear AMC Friends, Girl Scout Parents, B2S Parents, Camp on the Go Parents and Community Folk,
The metal roof on Armagh Methodist Church is over 40 yrs old and in need of replacement. After diligently reviewing several contractors and bids, Church Council has approved a bid to install a new roof by KSL Roofing and Remodeling of Loyalhanna, PA for $147,545. The contract includes full removal and disposal of all existing layers of metal roofing & debris, replacing any bad decking and support structure, installing new 24-gauge metal roof panels along with installing new gutters & downspouts. Finance Committee members have approached several local banks about applying for a loan. The work will be scheduled for the end of September.
Our Spaghetti Dinners, individual member offerings and small group efforts have been successful at raising $62,000 for the New Roof Fund so far. However, the apparent difference of $85,545 will not be the final cost as we need extra funds to pay for hidden structural damage, the architect fee, appraisal fees, loan costs and filing fees. Church Council is asking the members and friends of AMC to dig a little deeper in helping to finance the New Roof as we now have a contract and the right company to install the metal roof. We are kindly asking for deeper donations now through August 31. We have a private benefactor who has pledged to give matching fund up to $5,000! In this spirit, Church Council is presenting this need to parents and volunteers of the groups who participate in our children programs. Whatever you donate will effectively be doubled so please dig deep! All money goes into the same pot to help the church! We can lower the amount that we need to borrow.
Please make your donation check payable to “Armagh Methodist Church” and write "New Roof Fund" on the memo line. Please mail your check to:

Armagh, PA 15920
