Angeles
For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Acacia community hall, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $150. It will serve about 436 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in October and everyone is invited. We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $150 goes: • Permits and inspections: $30 • Safety equipment and signage: $70 • Tools hire and delivery: $50 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Ronnie

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ronnie.

      Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. permits and inspections comes first ($30) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Appreciate you taking the time.
