Quarterly report April 22, 2011	The capital campaign steering committee is pleased to report that the plan for fundraising is on target. To date, nearly three-quarters of the $3,000,000 goal has been raised through donations or pledges. Due to the recent court decision against the shelter concerning the preferred site for the new permanent facility, fundraising continues but has slowed until a site is confirmed.	Since the finds have not been raised completely and a site for the new facility has not been determined, there is no timeline for construction.
Quarterly Report July 29, 2011	The capital campaign steering committee is pleased to report that the plan for fundraising was on target up to a date of some months ago. To date, nearly three-quarters of the $3,000,000 goal has been raised through donations or pledges. Due to the recent court decision against the shelter concerning the preferred site for the new permanent facility, fundraising continues but slowed until the Franklin Park site could be confirmed. We now believe that through the efforts of the Douglas County Commission that we may have the opportunity to revive the negations and fundraising for that site.	No change from last report.
