The Precious Blood Building Committee accepted the donation of a plot of land in 'north Exeter from developer Len Veri. A home worth approximately $160,000 will be built on the property with much of the materials and labour donated to the cause by local contractors and businesses. The home will become the prop- erty of the winner of an elimination draw next July. The building com- mittee, chaired by Joanne Ben- gough, expects to sell 3,000 tickets at $100 each. After expenses are deducted, the draw still represents a substantial source of funds for the new church to be built at Sanders and Marlborough Streets in the next few years. The 1,300 square metre church is projected to cost about $900,000, half of which must be raised by the Exeter. congregation. The other half will be contributed by the dio- cese.
