Help us “Close the Gap” on rising construction costs
On October 25, at a special meeting for the association of Camp Ewalu, voters overwhelmingly approved a motion from the Ewalu board to pursue a mortgage of up to $1.4 million for additional costs associated with the Cedar Lodge renovation project. The Ewalu board will not pursue a mortgage loan until necessary, and fundraising for the project is going strong to cover the shortfall and to minimize (or eliminate!) borrowing. We’ve reached the halfway point, with just over $700K raised already! Click the button below to learn more about project and the rise in construction costs, and help us “Close the Gap”!
