Raise the Roof Fundraising Project
As our building has aged over the past 25 years, we have patched and mended our roof with temporary fixes to fight leaks off and on as much as possible. However, it’s now evident that it is beyond repair and time for a full replacement. We have begun the process for collecting bids and making plans for the next steps in this major project.
On September 11, 2022, David Todd shared the following update on the roof project.
