Scores of banquets and ward socials have been held repeatedly for the purpose of raising money, until today the Finance committee has $1600 cash on hand, which, wtih the labor pledges already given, all to be matched by L. D. S. Church funds, will give ..the Building committee sufficient funds to start the work in earnest. Words of appreciation were expressed by Bishop Twitched to all ward members who have so generously helped with means, and to the committee members who have so energetically worked on the project so far. We want the ward members, individually, to feel that we do thank them for their help, and that we do need their further help, he said this week, as final plans were being pushed for the active construction work to start next week. No one must ease up now. We want everybody to do all he or she can, because once we start we do not want to stop until the whole job is done, and that means a lot more finance, and a lot more work, and demands the support of every ward member.

Bishop E. E. Twitched, appointed bishop of Sharon on May 27, 1933, was charged by President A. V. Watkins at that time with this injunction: Your first job is to build a new chapel for Sharon ward. Bishop Twitched took President Watkins advice to hean, and from that time to this has never eased upon his drive for funds. The first Ward banquet was held Feb. 22, 1939 to raise the first cash for the big task ahead. In May the Presiding Bishopric appointed Fred Markham of Trovo to draw "p plans and specifications, for the new chapel. Later these plans were approved by the P. B. O., and the above sketch is Mr. Markhams own drawing of them. The new chapel will be white, with modern design inside and out. The main chapel will be at the rear of what is now the present ward chapel, and it will seat 350 persons.
