Property Update
Have you seen our new purple windows?  All of the wooden windows on the north side of the original  building (where the nursery and the library are located) have been replaced with new commercial aluminum windows!  The wood had deteriorated on these windows and the property committee determined it was critical to have them replaced as soon as possible.  Other exterior  improvements were also made to reduce our long term maintenance needs.

The property and finance committees have worked together for the past year to hire an architect, issue bid documents and to ultimately select and hire the contractor.  Due to one window falling out last fall, it was decided that this $44,000 project should be funded immediately by increasing our existing debt.

There are many people who have worked on making this project a reality.  Augie Landis got the ball rolling, Layne Rasmussen kept this project a priority, Scott Bennett established the necessary line of credit, Mark Thiesen’s persistence as Architect and quality czar made sure that the project was built correctly and, literally, no corners were cut.  The contractor for this project is Bergstrom Construction and the office staff has told me that they are the nicest  contractors they have ever worked with.

There are more projects on our slate, and hopefully, with your help, we will be able to make these repairs and ensure the long term integrity of our facilities.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Steve Billingsley, Property Committee Chairman
