the original plan:
• Security fencing surrounding the pavilion

• Secure parking for FUMC bus
• Location designated for event restrooms, as needed
• Ample seating provided for events
• Columbarium located in Susan’s Garden
• Easy-to-open entry doors at the elevator entrance

Our goal is to raise $2 million. We are close.
