KZYR Interview with Vail Founders Rod & Beth Slifer
How Could We Possibly Spend $10 Million?
This morning, KZYR DJ Tony Mauro talked to Vail Founders Rod and Beth Slifer about their involvement with the Vail Religious Foundation’s 50th Anniversary Capital Campaign.
Rod Slifer was very involved in the founding of the Foundation and the building of the Chapel building. He was then again very involved in fundraising for the needed renovations in the late 1990s, when the Ministry Building, North Chapel, and caretaker’s unit were added to accommodate a growing population in the Vail Valley.
And now again, the Vail Interfaith Chapel and Ministry Building are in need of structural repairs and upgrading equipment to bring this iconic Vail location into the present, and necessary reserve funding carry it into the future. $7 million will be spent on much needed maintenance, renovations and landscaping (learn more). $2-3 million will be put into the reserves in order to maintain the buildings for the next 25 years.
