The beginning of the month means it's time for a financial update! Rockton Strong has been doing well these last weeks, and we urge everyone to participate in our RECHARGE 2019 campaign! Thank-you for everything you do:

1. To date, donations have totaled $23,821. We have invested over $12,000 in legal costs thus far. Over 93% of funds spent has gone directly to legal costs. The remainder has been spent on organizational filing costs, permits, and insurance. We have a substantial "war-chest" for legal funds, but when the trial starts, those funds will quickly deplete. Unfortunately, it's not time to rest and more has to be done.

2. During the month of August, we incurred the following expenses:

Yearly Liability Insurance: $290
Monthly Website: $36.00
Facebook boosts / fees: $9.98

TOTAL EXPENSES AUG 2019 $335.98

3. The legal fight continues. Our next court date is Oct 16. We've now managed to delay the construction of the asphalt plant by over one year, and with our judicial stay in place, hope to delay it much further! Keep in mind, with every day we delay construction, the chances go up that it will never happen.

4. As a part of our strategic plan, we launched our "RECHARGE 2019" campaign. The campaign focuses on contributors matching their 2018 donation, and seeking out corporate support.

We are humbled and THANKFUL for the support we've received thus far. To help, PLEASE consider matching your 2018 contribution or making your first contribution in 2019.

Thank-you for making this community ROCKTON STRONG.
