The club is in need of updating and replacing part of the existing Fire Security System. We have talked with four different companies and have gotten two bids. One was to totally replace the system at a cost of $30,000 plus and the other company quoted a "like and kind" system for $8,271.

 

We have spent two months working with the city of Chelan to come up with an acceptable system, they have agreed to the "like and kind" system. The club does not have the monies for this project nor do we have anymore time to waste as the city contacted us again yesterday, Monday March 3rd. They informed us that just getting the permits approved for this will take the city one to two weeks to review and approve.

 

We need 50% down just for the installer to submit the permit application. As to date we are $800 shy of the 50% needed thanks in part to the Auxiliary for the $2,000 they donated for the cause. We are encouraging members to donate if able to help us with this issue and keep the doors open as the city at anytime can shut us down until the system is repaired.
