ANNOUNCEMENTS
Garden Room Roof Replacement: The Garden Room roof is being replaced soon. The roof replacement will cost $28,300, with additional money needed to repair interior damage to the building. Our current building repair fund will not cover the cost of these repairs. So, we are using general operating account funds. If you are able, please consider giving an extra mile gift to help with these repairs.
