Gladstone Camp Meeting
Important Information about 2010 Gladstone Camp Meeting
Many of you are already aware of the decision made in regards to Gladstone Camp Meeting this year. Gladstone Camp Meeting will be funded outside of our budget this year. A very consistent response heard at all town halls was members asking how they could support the financial challenges we are facing. The executive committee has voted to only have Camp Meeting this year if $250,000 is pledged by March 20th, 2010. We are asking for pledges instead of cash so that the pledges could be cancelled if we do not receive the $250,000 requested. We need your pledge toward supporting the 2010 Gladstone Camp Meeting.
Submit your pledge online at http://www.oregonconference.org/forms/485/form_submissions/new or submit your written pledges to your local church. Please use an offering envelope for your confidential pledge. Your local church treasurer will collect these pledges and submit the total to the Oregon Conference.
Watch the fundraising thermometer on Monday March 22nd at www.OregonConference.org as the results of the pledge drive come in. Should we reach our goal, your pledges then can be honored by submitting the money, by May 31, in a tithe envelope marked Camp Meeting Expense, or online on the Treasury page of our web site http://orgctreasury.adventistnw.org then click on “Online Giving”

...if 250 people gave $1,000 we would reach $250,000?
...if 500 people gave $500 we would reach $250,000?
...if 1000 people gave $250 we would reach $250,000?
...if 17,500 people gave $14.29 we would reach $250,000?
...if 35,000 people gave $7.15 we would reach $250,000?
Even if just 17,500 people, that's HALF of the Oregon Conference's member base gave just $14.29 we would be able to reach our Camp Meeting goal!
Think About It. Pray About It.
