Year-End Wish List

At this time of year, I am often asked if the school has a wish list of items it needs. In fact, we do, and I am taking an opportunity to make it available to all our friends. Each listed item has an associated cost, link and/or additional details. I encourage you to look through the list and consider either directly buying or making a contribution toward its purchase.

Item	Cost	Notes
iPod speaker dock	$60.00 each	One each for Bhakti, Audarya, Madhurya Bhavans, and Multi-use room.
Apple TV	$99.00	This device will allow us to stream video from our central media server to each classroom via an attached video projector.
Portable sound system	$100.00
External Hard Drive (2 Terrabytes)	$100.00	We need additional data storage capacity for the school’s media server.
Gas Powered Leaf Blower	$160.00
Video Projection Screens	$200.00 each	One each for Audarya Bhavan and Multi-use room
Harmoniam	$200.00	Estimated

Video Projector	$800.00

iMac computers	$1,000.00 each	Our existing classroom computers are very old and in serious need of replacement with quality workstations.
Perimeter fence for school campus	$7,000.00	A well constructed perimeter fence will better define the Bhaktivedanta Academy campus, prevent misuse/vandalism of the school's property, and help to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the grounds while students are present.
Audarya Bhavan classroom building	$11,000	The 1,400 sq. ft. classroom building we installed for the 2009-10 school year has served us well. It is a great space but we pay over $1000 per month to lease it. The purchase price for this building is $41,000, of which $30,000 is pledged. We only need $11,000 more for Bhaktivedanta Academy to finalize the purchase and to own a major asset.
