They have agreed to discount the rental fee by $100 because they will be talking about the city’s green burial options at Williamsburg, which takes the rental down to $359 for the three hours. The Grand River Unitarians will be donating, but not sure how much at this point. Would GREN be interested in sponsoring/donating a portion?
