Parish
Building Fund Update
The
Parish Centre has been repainted over January at a cost of
$600. The next projects are the resurfacing of the ladies
toilets at $1400 and hallway which will cost up $2500.
Please consider making a contribution to the building fund
so we can keep our facilities in excellent condition.
Currently we have $0 in the building fund…thus we need to
give to ensure the painting costs are covered and we can go
ahead with the floor work. Please speak with the Property
Warden, Andrew Andrew-Smith, if you have questions or
comments.
