PURCHASING A NEW BUS

On Monday August 2, 2010, after several months of discussion and research, the Trustees agreed that we as a church should purchase a new bus rather than a pre-owned one. On the very same night, the

Administrative Council agreed with the recommendation of the Trustees that we should purchase a new bus. It will be a 15-passenger bus similar to the one we were able to look at. At this time we have

already raised $22,060.00 toward the purchase of a new bus. The trustees decided that we would not be making a purchase until all the funds have been raised. The Trustees believe that we need to raise an additional $27,000.00. This will allow us to

purchase the new bus and also provide us with the funds to purchase a metal carport to provide shelter for both the new bus and the van. In the upcoming weeks, the trustees will provide pictures of the bus and a graph (bus thermometer) to show our progress toward the goal. For those who would like to

contribute to purchasing a new bus you may make your checks to Burns UMC, earmarked bus.
