UNRESTRICTED DONATIONS |
THE BUILDING IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM supports higher cost projects that are a result of the aging of the structures on BZC's property. These improvements include: bringing plumbing and electricity up to code, insuring seismic safety, remodeling to meet current needs and replacing appliances for energy efficiency. Our current capital goal for the next 5 years is $20,000 per year. |
LEADERSHIP FUND DONATIONS |
If you are not a member and would like to become one we invite you to attend our
Saturday program where you can review an application and talk to a membership committee representative.
MEMBERS of BZC are people who participate regularly and frequently in BZC activities. They may: vote in BZC elections, hold leadership positions, borrow books from the library, and receive many other benefits. The level of dues requested from a member is $40 per month, according to BZC policy. It is understood that some members may be unable to afford the standard amount. We also hope that members who can contribute more than $40 per month will do so. |
FRIENDS are members who, due to distance or some other reason, cannot participate on a regular basis yet wish to maintain an ongoing relationship with BZC and receive our newsletter. We suggest Friends make a regular contribution of $30 per quarter (every three months). |
