We've reached a new milestone—more than 3,000 signatures!! Thank you so much for your support! Even though we've reached this milestone, more than 5,000 people have read the petition but NOT SIGNED IT! Please continue to share with your family and friends—and please follow up and ask them to click the "SIGN" button. THANK YOU! Please share the attached map with your friends—it shows the location of the proposed development, immediately to the north of the Monastery cemetery and parking lot. This only shows 14 of the proposed new 230+ residential lots. You can see the whole plan here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iko6u6vug3igthm/Proposed%20Development%20%28combined%20maps%29_Page_1.jpg?dl=0 ALSO, PLEASE NOTE: After signing, some people are being directed to a page asking you to donate money to "boost the petition". THIS IS NOT REQUIRED IN ANY WAY -- the Monastery does not receive any of those contributions, and neither do the organizers of this petition. The money goes to Change.org to "boost" the petition, which means they try to find people among their existing users who would be interested in signing the petition. Because of the specific and local nature of our petition, this is unlikely to bring any additional signatures. If you want to give money to Change.org as a way of saying "thank you" for hosting this petition, please feel free to do so! But again, this is not required and does not directly benefit the Monastery or this petition effort. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP!
