PAINTING FUNDS NEEDED |
|
The church building is showing signs of peeling paint and we would like to have Clearwater Church repainted inside and out if we can lineup volunteers or a contractor and raise additional funds.
We would urge all the Friends of Clearwater to consider a gift to offset the cost of this beautification project. Debbie is looking for interested contractors to give us bids. If you know of anyone interested let us know. This spring or summer would be a good time to get this done.
Please prayerfully consider a one time gift or gifts over several months or years for this need and send your contributions to:

Filling Basement Oct.20-23 2006 |
We did put 140 yards of sand into the basement to prevent future water damage. |
We thank our volunteers who came to assist in filling the basement with sand. We rented a small skid loaders and dumped sand into a slide that fit in basement windows. We leveled the sand once it was in the basement. We have also received new funds to help pay for this preservation project. Our goal is to raise $3,000 and to date we have received about $1500.We thank our volunteer workers; Glen Hofstad, Leif Fore, Arlene Gunderson Berry, Diane and Clarence Gagner, Harold and Ardith Kessler, Arnie, Dave, Roy and Neil Lillo, Debbie & Jim DuChamp, Wayne Vettleson, and Ragna Gunderson.

We thank you all for your financial gifts. We received enough new funds to fully pay for the basement fill project.
We have received a quote on a new Laminated shingle roof from Midwest Roofing of Thief River Falls. We have contracted with them to proceed with the shingle replacement and we will do a fund raising letter after the project is complete. If you would like to make a donation to help cover the roof replacement please send a check to Clearwater Heritage Association 219 S Redwood Dr. Mankato, MN 56001.

Welcome to your new web site! |

We welcome you to view our website and see some of the beauty of a small Norweigen country church. The beautiful altar and stained glass windows adorn this special landmark. This is one of the few landmarks remaining in Equality Township of rural Oklee, Minnesota. We welcome gifts to the Clearwater Heritage Association 219 S Redwood Drive Mankato, Mn 56001. We have raised funds and restored the church close to it's original beauty.
We have more to do, repainting the inside and the exterior. Your gifts are encouraged by one time, monthly, annual, wills, or memorials. | |
