BOARD OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT - December 2019

Church Greening Workday: November 30 - 9:00-12:00 (LunchOnLinda)

October Congregational Workday We did a lot of work for a rainy Saturday, virtually all inside, naturally. We prepared for both Novemberfest and the Trunk-Or-Treat / Fall Festival. Lots of painting and getting ready to paint. Many thanks to all including Bruce, Judy, Bud, Rosemary, Steve, Linda, Betty Morrell, Nathen, Jennifer, Ryan, Ronnie, Doug, Shirley M., Barbara, Shirley L. You are a great crew and a great blessing to Trinity. And thanks for the mow job Larry!

Stucco Repairs – Education Building WE NEED SOME HELP! We are about to embark on the first phase of repairs, namely demolition. We need help to remove the old ‘bad’ stucco, the cedar banding, and cedar panels from the east and south side of the building. West face which has the ‘bad’ stucco will be removed by the contractor.

If you can possibly help with the dismantling, probably starting in December or January, please let us know. We will try to accommodate your schedule.

Once demo is complete, we will also need to do some repairs and prep work on the surfaces to get ready for the application of the stucco.

Roof and Leak Repairs - Sanctuary We will have to reinvestigate and locate the fugitive stucco leaks; this may also require a piece of equipment for repair and recoating the stucco. We also have to complete the coating of the walkway canopy.

South Face Door Replacement The old sliding doors and adjacent windows in the Nursery and South Classroom have been removed and replaced with 2 new windows and a door. This was scheduled in advance so we would have all in readiness for stucco. This was achieved through the efforts of Bud, Tom, and Kevin (and maybe others) over the last few Sundays. Many thanks to these guys and our $ecretpal. There is still a lot of interior work to be done so these rooms may be out of service for a while.

We hope that this work and the stucco work along with related work to the cross and shrubs and trees would result in a real face lift to the façade. We are still trying to develop a message or theme on the east side to draw attention to our facility as “The Church in The Village.”

If you have some ideas on these upcoming designs, please let us know and maybe we can develop a ‘new look’ for old Trinity along with our new emphasis on outreach and assimilation.

Fire, Safety and Building Security Systems We are advised that this system must be professionally designed and approved by the City. This equals higher cost and longer lead time. We are going to contact some companies that do this sort of thing for advice and counseling to find ways to cut costs if we can.

Something Need Fixin’? If there are things that need attending to, please let us know by talk or text to 314-249-8721 (Bud) or 912-236-3128 (Mike) or by email to mfajen@comcast.net or eegerdes@gmail.com.

For Bud and myself, Mike Fajen
