Updated: May 2015

From the Finance Committee

Through the middle of May, our contributions to the Annual Operating Fund are over $20,000 below budget.
We would appreciate you reviewing your giving vs your pledged amount for 2015 to insure it is correct. This
becomes critical as we enter the summer months when giving traditionally drops, but we continue to have expenses.
We are now providing new giving options such as using your credit or debit card on the Central on the Square
website (www.centralonthesquare.org), or by signing up for the automatic contribution from your checking or
savings account. If you would like additional information on either of these options, please contact Missy Igou,
Finance Administrator at Central. You can reach her at 717-264-4113, extension 109.

JOY VILLAGE
Seven children from the Loyengalani area of Kenya just began a long journey to their
new home, the Joy Childrens Village. These children have endured major hardships in
this remote and desolate area of Kenya. Over the past several months the legal aspects

Papaya, and also Aschew, Lobay and Safi. Thank you all.
