Our Wish List
When it comes to the Wish List, there are
things we use all the time; stuff we hope for which then suddenly
arrives one day; and the pie-in-the-sky-but-nice-to-think-about category.
But magic has a way of happening, and we have been surprised before
when something we really needed dropped out of the blue.
If you think you have something that we might
be able to use, give us a call. If it is in working order, or just
requires minor repair, we probably can use it. And you might have
something we never thought of. Who knows? And any gift in kind to
the Church will be acknowledged at year-end for tax preparation purposes.
Food and Household
We go through a great deal of food at the
Church, feeding a lot of people for the Moon services and the folks
in the FarmHouse. Any kind of staple is needed. Potatoes and onions
by the sack, and canned goods are very welcome. We go through an incredible
amount of coffee beans and have found Sam's Club Colombian and Eight
O'Clock to be the best value. Bacon is a rare treat. Green veggies
in the winter are excellent. Pasta and noodles with sauce and parmesan
has fed many a Church dinner. If you would eat it, we probably will
too. We now have two root cellars, so food that stores for the long
term is highly valued.
Lightbulbs (CFL's) and toilet paper, paper
towels, detergent and dish soap are all used in large quantities.
Believe it or not, during a members' weekend we can go through a case
and a half of toilet paper. And use up a box of detergent over a weekend
just washing towels if there is a Sweat Lodge or operating the kitchen.
Towels. Just can not keep enough around.
Furniture
We always need furniture, but we have learned
that because of the heavy use from all the people who pass through
Four Quarters, it has to be high quality, solid and in good condition.
Sleeper sofas in good condition and futon beds and frames are highly
desired- twin size are in demand. Book shelves that are well built
and still load-worthy. File cabinets if they are commercial grade
(not home use). The drawers must work. Solid foldup tables, plastic
topped have worked the best. And we can always use folding wood chairs
and stools.
Tools
Any kind of construction tool will be used,
from a claw hammer up to a back-hoe, as long as they are commercial
grade. Hammers, pliers and screwdrivers are always disappearing during
events. We always need shovels, rakes and the like; seems we are always
busting off the handles (fiberglass handles are best). Believe it
or not, we go through a lot of paint brushes, especially artist's
brushes for sign painting. They seem to be hard to get out here. Turpentine
and bright sign painter's paint. Heavy wheelbarrows with tires that
are not flat.
Supplies
Lighting fixtures of almost any kind. We
can always use office paper, but it must be white and in unopened
reams or cases. We are looking for 200 Amp service breaker boxes,
circuit breakers and heavy service cable, Square D brand. Direct burial
cable 20 amp 12 gauge or heavier, at least 20 feet long. Telephone
wire too. Any kind of dimensional lumber, uncut. Treated posts and
good plywood are especially sought- after. We are always in need of
any kind of plumbing fittings or pipe. Copper or PVC. Bricks. We
are serious. Bricks. One or a thousand. Heavy birch plywood for
signs. Two square feet and above.
Camp Equipment
Landscaping lights, low voltage or AC.
Outdoor rated fixtures? Mini spots?
Stage Lighting? Does anyone have old stage lighting. A PA system?
Large pavilions or tents in good condition. 10 by 20 or bigger.
About twenty tandem axle-loads of road building gravel?
Kitchen Equipment
Heavy restaurant style gas-fired ovens, range and griddle.
Gas fired warming oven.
Any kind of stainless steel food preparation surface.
LARGE pots and pans, suitable for feeding a small army.
Heavy ventilation gear.
Office Equipment
Computers. Hmmm. We are power users and frankly
have gotten to where we can not use most cast off equipment. We can
use good current equipment, flat panel displays or less powerful notebooks.
For very good deals we have been known to buy equipment from our members.
Heavy Machinery
Almost all of the Church's automobiles have
been donated by the Members. If it is in good to fair condition requiring
a minimum of repair to pass inspection, please give us a call.
Any kind of three-point hitch tractor attachment
will be put to work. And almost any kind of heavy construction equipment.
We have a real need for a road-worthy dump-trailer for short distance
hauling.
Got a tracked loader you are not using on
the weekend? Well, just thought we would ask.
