Thanks to Our Summer Maintenance Volunteers
– The Board of
Trustees extends special thanks to those who helped with the conversion of 140
light fixtures to new more energy efficient ballasts and bulbs and those who
assisted with painting and other projects around the building during the summer
months. Those helping included Ken and Carol Stonemetz, Jean Louis Roederer,
Norm Smithley, Dick Pocock, Steve Pocock, Dick Halberg, Diane Emmons, Dick
Alderman, Fred Shannon, and Paul Roth. These efforts have saved the church
hundreds of dollars and helped use our financial resources effectively.
