Buildings and Grounds – September, 2017

by Linda Pietrzak
I hope you have seen the new refrigerator in the kitchen. It looks so nice. There is extra temporary storage across from it where the extra refrigerator was, soon it will become permanent pantry storage with added counter space (Thank you Mike Sixbey).
The one part you may not notice is the money it is saving us. If it was just a replacement of one refrigerator for another it would be a saving of about $77 a year, BUT we replaced two refrigerators with one large one so we are saving so much more.
Thanks to Rob March for painting the whale’s tail. Darryl Marquez helped clean it last month. It has been a lot of work but it should look good for quite a while.
We had two new people at Building and Grounds Work Party, Chris Chalquest and Peggy Anders. They cleaned and changed the sign out front. It will be nice to see what inspiring words appear each month.
The rest of the crew was comprised of Geoff Dann, Mike Duffy, Michael Akseven, Cindy Camillucci, Joyce Sattler and Damian. They were so busy with a number of chores.
A large picture was hung in Rev. Dana’s office, the soiled recliner was moved out of Berg Hall, the fluorescent lights and emergency lights were checked, the olive tree garden was watered, the lost and found was organized, old flowers were removed from the sanctuary, the garage and the front entry were swept, trash was picked up and cans in the garage were emptied, pine needles swept up, trash was picked up around the property, the front entry swept, and weeds were pulled from around the sign out front.
