Oswegatchie Dining Hall Project and Capital Campaign

11/7/2018

0 Comments

 
​In 1946 The New York FFA Foundation purchased 1200 acres in Lewis County. On the land sat a lodge that was built in 1872 as a lumberjack hotel. Since 1946 more than 100,000 campers have passed through the doors of Widrick Lodge for nutritious meals and fellowship. 

Today, the needs of Oswegatchie are changing and we have a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure the future of our camp. Please consider joining this campaign as a donor and/or volunteer.  With the awarding of a grant from the State of New York, Oswegatchie has reached 65% of the funds needed to construct a new dining hall and kitchen. We are kicking off this capital campaign to raise the remaining balance of $1,000,000. 
There is so much to talk about when it comes to this project, everything from building design to  fundraising. Its the biggest project Oswegatchie and the NY FFA Foundation have undertaken. In short, by following the green button below, you will be taken to the capital campaign's main site. That site will include information on building design, current donations, and where our success is now.

As of January 2019, We are entering the next phase of the project....

You can choose many routes  We are not breaking ground on the project till August 2019, so you can choose between one lump sum payment or painless month installments. We have a Go Fund Me Campaign available for easy donations. Our Paypal link is ideal for more discreet payments. We also have many donations coming by check. 


I have a personal ask to the 1,000 people that love Oswegatchie the most please dig deep.  If your life has been transformed by Oswegatchie,   If you have more or less to donate,  we need the help. If your are limited by cash, but have the ability to at least share our message, please do so, Thank you in advance.


Excelsior, 
Bill Waite
Program Director
