This info is mostly intended for the paper newsletter, but if the board is willing, we could include it in any coverage of the First AME Church demolition, in the e-newsletter.

My neighbor Zoe Bottom is a longtime member of the First AME Church congregation.

I asked her how interested people can contribute to their rebuilding fund.

The official "offering" envelope lists these methods:

Or mail a check to the First AME Church at 530-37th Street, Oakland CA 94609
