<div><strong>STRAW HOUSE UPDATE!</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>A special thank you to the property owners for giving an extension to raise the funds needed. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>25% of the property is secured the remaining 75% needs to be purchased.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Straw House leads by example — showcasing the future of sustainability!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Built from nearly 100% recycled materials with volunteer labor, The Straw House is about <strong>85% complete</strong>. It is ready to become the Eco-Art and Wellness Center for the community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>However,</em></strong> we need urgent help to buy out the land. If not, the three-thousand square foot structure will be lost.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Instead</strong>, we want the center to continue to be a <em>non-profit community space.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
