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.
