A team of volunteers installed a new air conditioning unit in the Campus Center’s student apartment. A big thanks to Jerry Park, Arno Leskinen, Scot Boyden, Keith Cornell, Nils Peterson, Doug LaMont, both Paul Westermann’s and the support of Paul’s mom, Lisa Westermann, who were visiting from California, and of course Dylan Weeks and Dylan’s mother, Carol Weeks.
This was not an easy project, but the team came through.
Pastor Gary and MaryBeth LaMont were going to help dispose of the old unit through the City of Tempe’s hazardous recycling project, but mysteriously the old unit disappeared. Jerry Park continued caulking and sealing of the unit to insure a water tight seal during the monsoon.
The photo shows the preparations prior to removing and installing a new AC/Heater in the student apartment.
The ULC Community is one terrific group of folks.
