We could be powered by the Son and the sun! We have crunched the numbers on installing two “Solar Trackers,” one at our main facility and another at our transmitter site. The two towers could provide virtually 100% of our energy needs. Estimated cost is $298,000 less tax credits, with an estimated payback period of approximately 8 years. If you are interested in helping to provide seed money for this project, please contact Matt Harper.
On July 19, we are having our first-ever, “test of concept” live outdoor music event at what we’re calling the WIHS Ampitheater. We are blessed with 7.5 acres of field that have a natural ampitheater contour! After this test, our vision is to begin to do some site work to make the site more professionally designed. Estimated initial need: $25,000 with more for what could be a permanent stage. If you are interested in helping to fund this project, please contact Matt Harper.
We also need to invest in important non-facility projects to maintain and grow our listenership, influence and impact for Christ. One way is to invest in an official WIHS AWD vehicle “wrapped” with the colorful WIHS logo and graphics. This vehicle will be used as a “moving billboard” for ongoing staff errands, speaking engagements, conferences, church visits, concerts, festivals and other high-profile events. As a result of our recent announcement, one listener generously offered to pick up the tab for the wrap! We are currently praying about and looking into the investment of the vehicle itself. Estimated cost: $48,000 plus ongoing operating expenses (insurance, gas, maintenance, repairs).
If you have an interest in helping to fund these projects, please contact Matt Harper, General Manager at 860.346.1049. Thank you!
