Save TH November Updates

Transcript: Film begins with an old photo of Charles Thompson Hall in black and white on a white background with “Charles Thompson Memorial Hall” on top of the photo.   Film switches to a modern day video starting with the camera looking at Charles Thompson Hall building with a white man dressed in a black jacket with maroon shirt.   Mike: This is Charles Thompson Hall.   The man points to the building and screen shows the full building of Charles Thompson Hall.   Film switches to the same man in front of the building’s steps.   Mike: The worn out steps that need the renovation money is here.   The man point to the steps and the screen zooms in to the steps showing cracks and damage.    Film switches to the side of Charles Thompson Hall building with the man pointing where the elevator will be at.   Mike: The elevator will be built here.   The screen shows where the elevator will be at by zooming up to the building and back to ground level.   Mike: The elevator will only cover 3 floors, not the 4th top floor.   Film switches to two white man sitting side by side on a table with young adults on another table in the background. The setting is at Charles Thompson Hall’s basement.   Mike: Now the next updates we will share is about the grant. Herman will expand on this.   Herman: Yes I will. First, what is behind me? It is our weekly ASL coffee gathering that we have every Friday from 10 am to 3pm. Students, deaf individuals, and ASL learners come together to socialize and improve signing skills. Now, the updates with the elevator project. We had written a grant to the MNHS (Minnesota Historical Society). Last Thursday and Friday, November 7th and 8th, they reviewed the large grant requests. Many organizations around the state also applied for this grant. When I checked online yesterday, I see that our grant’s status is still under review. I hope they will let us know if we actually win the grant and the amount we will get. We had applied for $116,000 for construction documents. The documents include the blueprints, planning, and the process of renovation.   Mike: The damaged steps showed earlier is included as one of the requests for renovations in the grant.   Mike: When can we start digging for construction?   Herman: We need more money before we can start. So far we had raised $150,000. But that money will mostly go to the construction documents. We need more money for the actual digging. If we have the funds, we can start right away. Now we are still applying for more grants and relying on people’s donations to get our funds in order. Please do donate now. We need to keep building enough money to start digging. We do not have enough right now. We have to hold on digging until we have enough funds. If we have one million, we can start to think about upgrading around the building and digging the hole. When more money comes, we can start the framework and building the outer-shell. Lastly, we will have the elevator installed. We have different phases we follow: Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3. We are now on Phase 2 which are documents for the construction’s needs.**   Herman: We still need your support. Please ask people even from out of state to support us. Get more involved in the process and we can get started sooner. The less money we have, the slower our process will be.   Mike: Yes please share more with people. If you feel conflicted on donating, you can donate anonymously by emailing or talking to one of our board members. We recently got two large donations, is that right?   Herman: Yes. Someone donated $100,000 anonymously which was nice! And someone else donated $10,000. The rest of the money raised came from 100 other persons who donated. I know there are many more deaf people out there, way more than 100 people! We need your help, come help us!   Mike: Have a great day!   White background with words on it appeared on the screen.
