June 2007 Dear Friends, We hope that the Summer 2007 issue of the Kingdom Project and Chile Temple e-newsletter finds you and your loved ones joyous and happy! We are delighted to share the latest stories and news from around the country about these sacred building projects. It is with these precious stories in mind that the National Spiritual Assembly urges our American Bahá'í community to continue the generous and sacrificial support for the Kingdom Project and Chilean Temple Initiative. The National Assembly recently announced that due to increased building costs and previously unknown damage uncovered during the Temple restoration work, an additional $3 million is needed for the Kingdom Project by April 2008. In addition, there is only $2 million remaining of the $6.5 million goal for the new Temple Visitors Center. The National Assembly also recently announced the $22 million National Fund goal for our American Bahá'í community for this year. In his letter dated April 27, 2007, National Treasurer, Dr. Billy Roberts, celebrated our efforts, applauding our national community as “a community of victors!” enthusiastically reminding us of our capacity to achieve the goals that have been set. You will find in this Summer 2007 issue the following highlights and features from the past several months:
With summer just around the corner, we hope that you and your loved ones will continue to create new and innovative ways to support these significant endeavors, and inspire others in the process. Please visit the Kingdom Project and Chilean Temple websites for regular updates, stories, interviews, travel logs, and more.
With warmest Bahá’í Greetings, Campaigns Office Bahá'í National Center
