2A THE CHOWAN HERALD, WEDNESDAY, JULY 26,2017 KADESH Continued from 1A siderable community-based fundraising, including pledg es of monies, bequests and in-kind contributions that could be counted toward the church’s target goal. Helping the church meet fundraising goals so that restoration can occur, said Joshua Castano, senior pro gram manager, for Partners for Sacred Places, “is at the heart of our work.” Castano said a key ele ment of a successful fund- raising campaign typically involves hiring a profession al consultant to help deter mine the capacity for giving that exists in a community and to conduct a capital fundraising campaign. “A capital campaign is an all hands on deck effort,” Castano said. “There are a lot of jobs ranging from handing out brochures to visiting po tential donors.” Martin and Castano added that while community fund ¬ raisers are helpful, the mqjor and most productive focus for such a campaign would be on identifying and reach ing out to donors who could offer “really big gifts” to help fund the restoration effort. Hildreth agreed. “It’s really hard to get to two million dollars holding fundraisers,” he said. “When you make your (fundrais ing) plan you’re going to have to factor that in.” Longtime Kadesh mem ber Audrey Bond, who is chairing the fundraising/ restoration effort, said the best way she knew to make the fundraising campaign a success is to make it a true community outreach effort. “We have a fundraising goal that can be met by partnering with all races, all ethnic groups in the community,” she said. “We need to bring in everybody from different walks of life who wants to help. I think if they see us striving, the Lord is going to bless us even more.” Joshua Castafo, standing, talks about steps the steering committee for the Kadesh AIVIE Zion Church restoration effort will need to take to be successful during a meeting last Thursday evening. STAFF PHOTO BY REBECCA BUNCH ALGAE Continued from 1A tended along the eastern side of the river from the Ar rowhead Beach area south to Edenton, then continues east hugging the shoreline until just beyond the N.C. Highway 32 bridge. Bridget Munger, DEQ spokeswoman, reports re ceived late Friday from up the river at Arrowhead and Chowan beaches say the wa ter is murky with some de gree of sediment. No globs of algae are visible, or at least not in any quantity. Vis ibility through the water at Arrowhead Beach is about one foot, she said. Munger said the lower Chowan River from chan nel marker 14 downstream to the Western Albemarle Sound is flecked with green filaments and balls, although this portion was not show ing bloom conditions during Thursday’s patrol of the area by DWR staff. There are lo calized ‘mats’ of coagulated green areas of these flecks but instruments did not in dicate bloom conditions. However, the Western Albe marle and Central Albemarle Sound did indicate bloom conditions Wednesday and Thursday. Division of Water Re sources staff also received a few phone calls Friday confirming observations this week from residents of the Mackey’s area — south side of the Albemarle, Munger said. “There have been no com plaints this week pertaining to decomposing or rotting blooms,” she said. The Albemarle Commis sion, along with the Town of Edenton, Chowan County, Albemarle Resource Con servation and Development Council, NC Sea Grant, NC Department of Environmen tal Quality and the Albemar le Pamlico National Estuary Program (APNEP), and the Chowan Edenton Environ mental Group are organizing a learning session for elected officials of those counties that are along the Chowan River Basin. “We are also working with APNEP and NC DEQ to have signage put in locations along the river notifying wa terway users of the hazards of the algal bloom, as well as who to call,” said Cathy Davison, Executive Direc tor Albemarle Commission. “Until we know the causes of the algal blooms and until those causes are diminished or eliminated, I will continue to be concerned.” FUNDS Continued from 1A tension Service’s Grow to Eat Program ■ Chowan-Perquimans Smart Start to continue funding a Child Care Health Consultant position ■ Edenton Farmers Mar ket that serves 10,000 peo ple annually including 1,000 financially needy residents ■ Edenton Lions Club to fund purchase of a Spot Vision Screener to provide vision screenings to pre-K and Kindergarten students in Chowan and Perquimans counties through implemen tation of Project Enlight- ment ■ Edenton-Chowan Recreation Department to support its Cubbies Water Buddies youth swimming lessons program ■ Food Bank of the Albe marle’s Back Pack Program based in Elizabeth City ■ Inner Banks Hotline in Columbia for its new “Just Stay Calm” program that will encourage students at tending Columbia Middle School students to control their anger and other nega tive feelings in a more posi tive way ■ Mental Health Amer ica of Eastern Carolina for implementation of its Peer Navigation Program ■ Chowan County Co- operative Extension in sup port of its one-week “4-H Jr. Chefs Program,” a summer camp for kids ages 8-13 ■ Chowan County Coop erative Extension to enable continued funding of its 4-H Expanded Foods and Nutri tion Services Program (EF- NEP) for students ages 5-19 in Chowan and Perquimans counties ■ Perquimans County Schools Foundation for implementation of its Water Turtles Program that will teach swimming lessons and water safety to kinder gartners ■ Roanoke Chowan Community Health Center for its Prescription Assis tance Program for the indi gent and underprivileged in Washington County ■ Tyrrell County, for the purchase of an automated external defibrillator to be placed at the county’s senior center ■ Tyrrell County 4-H for its “Home Preservation of Local Foods” to county resi dents this year ■ Tyrrell County Board of Education for a “Kinder Swim” program that will teach swimming and water safety classes to all Kin dergarten students in the county ■ Tyrrell-Washington Partnership for Children to provide funds for a Child Care Health Consultant to offer training and other as sistance to childcare provid ers in the two counties “Congratulations to all of these deserving orga nizations,” Dr. Stage said as the awards ceremony concluded. “We are indeed most fortunate to have such high quality resources right in our own backyards.
