We also need funding. The cost of the lumber and hardware is almost $700.00. The Rio Texas Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church will cover half, so we need to raise $350.00. If you can help with the cost, please make your check out to Kyle UMC and write “school bleachers” in the memo section. The school administrators are excited to have new bleachers for their field day on May 24 ^th . Thank you in advance for your generosity and servant heart!
