A message from the Trustees of the Crossways Community Trust

Dear Mt Victoria Residents,

We are pleased to pen this first note to you as Trustees of the Crossways Community Trust, with the mandate to raise the necessary funds to purchase Crossways House for the community.

Many of you may know the history of the property, but it is the future of this grand old building that concerns us. It is truly the heart of Mt Victoria, with numerous groups and the crèche using it on a daily basis. At several public meetings the residents of Mt Victoria were clear – Keep Crossways for the community and make it a vibrant centre for the future.

TRUST GOALS

It is our goal to work with the council and St Andrews over the next year to meet agreed-upon fundraising targets, and ultimately finalise a sale with the church by 1 October 2008.

It is our goal to do so in a transparent, open and honest way. To that end, we have set up an account at KiwiBank that will be strictly for donations. All administration costs will come from a separate account. Be assured that no money you donate will be used for administration, unless you specifically ask us to allocate it as such.

If we are not successful and do not meet our goal, we are committed to returning all the funds from the “purchase Crossways” account to the donors.

Be sure to check upcoming Mt Vic News for information on fundraisers and updates on progress. Thank you for your support.

We welcome any questions or ideas you may have, or perhaps you would like to make a donation.

Email us at tania@mtvictoria.org.nz, or call 021 464 893.

Best Regards,

The Trustees of the Crossways Community Trust

Jessica Closson, Bill Southworth
