WELL FUNDRAISER

The Goodenough Community has existed for half a century as an abundant well, where many have quenched their desire for belonging and found rejuvenation for their soul. The community has stewarded the land at the Sahale Learning Center for us all to gather, honor, grow, and serve. Sahale is a powerful place which we can all simultaneously dip into, and replenish, the well of our own lives, returning to our day-to-day communities with insight and resilience. At Sahale, we become acutely aware of connection and sharing the water of life. 

 

There is an immediate opportunity for us all to reciprocate the blessings of Sahale to insure that the land and its facilities will continue to hold and serve us all for innumerable years to come... by literally replenishing the water from which we have sustained ourselves while at Sahale.

 

The water source that serves the property is a natural spring that was originally harnessed as a resource in the 1940’s. It is affectionately referred to as “Brighdie’s Well,” although it is not an actual well. The spring will continue to provide water for years to come, but due to several environmental factors (not the least of which are more arid summers), it has become insufficient to fill the need during the busy, dry, summer months. It has come time to invest in an actual well and pump house.

 

However, we cannot accomplish this without you.

 

The Goodenough Community has already paid for the permitting from Mason County and the Washington State Department of Ecology. The work of drilling the well and installing the piping has been completed. While we had hoped for a shallow depth, perhaps the 65 feet that Kirsten's well reaches, they ended up needing to dig down to 205 feet to find clear, fresh water - and lots of it!  Wiring, a pump house, a concrete pad and three pressure tanks, plus digging channels and laying pipe to connect the well source to our current system will be done by our community, and the final total for the system will be approximately $40,000. This is $5000 more than we had budgeted for due to the unexpected depth of the well. Thankfully, we have planned ahead and this system will be easily converted into a "community well" that can service both the existing infrastructure and several new houses that we may want to build as the residential community expands at Sahale.

 

This is very achievable! We are currently at $20,527 and climbing. Every little drop counts, so please offer whatever is comfortable for you. Everyone’s contribution to the momentum will be appreciated. Please join!
