Improvements Made

Thanks to the cooperation of the Church Council and the efforts of our Director of Facilities, Chris Shaw, improvements were made to the women's restroom. New toilets were installed and new flooring was put down. Myrna H., John H., Gail S., Dot W. and Carla H. were also instrumental in the improvements. They stripped old wallpaper and hung new. New light fixtures were installed and woodwork was painted.

In the midst of all of this, Patrick L., Effie B. and I attended a seminar in Lacy sponsored by a church design/construction firm. Now that Pat is back, some proposals will probably be coming to the Church Council. Considering where the economy is right now, it's not a great time to be raising capital funds, but it never hurts to lay the groundwork for what we want to do.

Did I mention that Chris helped us change routers, so we now have wireless access in the Youth Room, the Chapel, Fellowship Hall and the Memorial Lounge?

At the January Council Meeting, funds were approved to make similar improvements to the men's restroom. What would really help is a "space expander" for both of these facilities. Look for these improvements in the near future.
