August Crossties: A brief note on the building expansion
To no one’s surprise the completion date has been pushed
back to October 1, 2006. All else is going well it seems.
Costs are in line with the budget. Soon there will be
disruptions in the two sacristies as the East wall
partitions are opened and replaced. Acolytes and chalice
bearers will have to vest elsewhere for a time. A note will
be posted. The altar guild sacristy should remain functional though perhaps a little
messy. I am happy to answer any questions. Charlie Gouffon
June Crossties:
Construction of New Education Wing Begins!
After many years of fund-raising,
planning and designing, on Sunday, May 21, the congregation
gathered under a sunny sky behind the nave to break ground on our
new education wing. The new wing, which will take about 16 weeks
to build (weather permitting!), will include dedicated space for
our youth as well as additional classrooms for the younger
children.
It would be impossible to thank all of
the people who have played a part in bringing this dream to
fruition. For five years, a succession of Vestry members and
wardens have supported this project. Numerous parishioners have
offered their input and expertise. It is important to mention a
couple people by name, however. Monty Pitts served as our first
Building Committee chairman, and invested an enormous amount of
time and energy in advancing the building program. Our current
Building Committee chairman, Charlie Gouffon, picked up where
Monty left off and brought our plans to completion. Our thanks go
out to them and to all who have made our new wing possible. We
look forward to a dedication ceremony sometime this fall. |
