I revisited the spreadsheet where i record donations made in the form of checks, and I see that I missed some "donations made for building upgrades"
so, here is the actual total...sorry for my oversight..i was only recalling a few donations, but in fact, there were more!

1420
These were contributed primarily in January of 2018, when we first announced a drive to bring in money. this does not include the donations made to upgrade our fire extinguishers (thank you, Rich)
