Important News!
The Capital Fundraising Campaign will be closing its books on December 31, 2012.
Generous donations have continued to arrive even as we anounced the end of the Campaign,
but we must officially end the Campaign as of 12/31/2012, so please make sure your
donations arrive before that day to be included in the Campaign! Note that we will continue to accept
contibutions to Oselia's Capital Fund even after the Campaign ends, but they will not
be included in the Campaign's proceeds.
Our Oselia in Ellenville
has begun an urgently needed
multi-year Capital Repairs and Improvements Project!
How are we doing?

The goals of the Project are to:
...modernize, repair and bring to working order the
facilities and major systems of Oselia’s infrastructure
that are key to Oselia’s operations;
...improve the children’s camp and make the camp
facility better able to support the needs of our children;
...improve our facilites so that we can host public and
private events, to support a business model that will
make Oselia financially viable as we move into the
future.
Private support from members and our friends can make all the
difference in making Oselia ready for our future. We are working
to raise one million dollars for urgently needed capital improvements.
Some of the major improvements include:
a new pavillion for the children's camps,
pool repair and renovation,
new roof and heating/cooling units for the Grand Hall building,
new boilers,
refurbishing of sewage treatment plant,
other new roofs,
new road installation,
drainage around the sports field,
additional storage facilities,
finishing of barrack basements in the camp,
improved ventilation of the camp buildings,
and numerous other improvements related to the children’s camp.
These
are just a sampling of the capital improvement plan that has
been compiled based on estimates received.
These are hard times, but we hope that you will open your hearts
and help Oselia Ellenville achieve its goals. Thank you for all
your moral and financial support! Progress on reaching our financial goals will be posted here
for you to see and follow.
Please be generous!
