We have been diligently working on our beloved old building with several large-scale projects on the long-term agenda, including gutters/fascia repair (check!), roof replacement (check!), water issue on north-side, climate controlling the gallery, ADA-compliant walkways, and handicap lifts for classroom and gallery access.

-------------------------------------------------------

Our present Building Fund Goal is $42,430.00 for Hardscaping and Climate Controlling the upstairs Gallery. We currently have about $11,200 in our Building fund from fundraising and donor contributions, and are patiently awaiting a $20,000 contribution from the County! **The commission voted to grant us $20k from AARPA funds that had to be redistributed - praise God! - to go toward our Gallery cooling project!** Once received, we will only need to raise a total of $11,230 to bring both of these goals to completion.

Get this: these two projects will check THREE items off our list! The Hardscaping project should resolve the water issue on the north side of the building as well as attain ADA-compliant walkways, and climate controlling the Gallery upstairs will allow us to be open year-round - finally! With these projects completed, we can get back to focusing more on our mission - and that includes BRINGING BACK THE MUSIC SCENE! We've longed to begin Open Mic sessions again (having to end them just before the pandemic due to the dreadful leak over center stage) and not just in the cold months when we can heat the Gallery. Give it up for PROGRESS!!
