At the last business meeting, we approved the roof repair proposal, which amounts to about $175,000. It is critical to move forward, because the longer we wait the more damage is caused by the weather. The property committee has done a terrific job of handling this. The Houston Endowment has given us $100,000 toward the repairs. We have decided to borrow the remaining $75,000 from the our maintenance fund, but to pay it back within 5 years in order to keep the fund whole and growing. Please increase your giving to help the Meeting cover this expense. Thank you for your contribution!
Community building work days scheduled for October. Set Saturday October 3rd and Saturday October 17th aside for work days. There are a number of clean up and freshen up jobs to do around and in the buildings. This is a great opportunity to get to know people better in Meeting and save the Meeting some money. The work we do not do as a community eventually is hired out. Come on by anytime between 8:00 AM and 1:00 PM even if you only have an hour, all help is very much appreciated.
