Concrete

Phase 3 should begin soon. We met with ASU Concrete Club and they are preparing to finish a project, then tackle our project to complete the concrete project here. In addition, Butch Nelson is getting ready to begin his masonry work on the project which will include benches, a fire pit, etc. in the “wall area” just east of the Campus Center. We have raised $3,500 toward this project already. Thank you!! Thus far we have spent over $6,000. Thank you for your continued gifts to this project. Please makr your checks “Concerete”. Thank you!
New Library Committee To Be Developed

With the church council’s approval, I would like to start a library committee. At the moment I am the only person that sets library policy and I think that it is appropriate that other members of the congregation be involved in helping to plan and run the library. Please contact me if you’re interested; I especially need someone with expertise in children’s books and in budgeting. Students are welcome to join the committee!
