The ice storm caused our roof leaks at two locations on last Monday morning. The water damaged the surrounding drywall and requires replacement. We have already reported the incident to the insurance company, and they will take care of the repair. The contractor will have to wait until the roof become dry in order to proceed the repair. Please be careful getting around the area during the construction. If you have any question, please feel free to contact the Incumbent or the wardens.
The old music keyboard in the new sanctuary (where the Cantonese service takes place) is 17 years old and needs to be replaced. After much thought and research, leaders in Music Ministry have purchased Kawai CA98 as our new keyboard. The original price was $5995, and the discounted price is $5250. Once we add HST and deduct the tax rebate, the total comes to $5456.85. The store was also willing to ship the new keyboard and remove our two old keyboards without additional charge. We are inviting parishioners to pledge their financial support for this purchase. As of April 17, we have 7 pledges for a total of $4900, so we still need an additional $556.85. If you would like to pledge for the purchase of the new music keyboard, please inform Joanne Loo, our Music Director. All donations, regardless of amount, are greatly appreciated. Please make cheques payable to “St. Elizabeth’s Anglican Church”, and write “Music Ministry” on the memo line. If the donations we receive exceed the amount we need, our warden will put forth a motion to establish a “Music Ministry Restricted Fund”. Many thanks.
