The roll-off dumpster has been emptied. Once. \u2026so far. Volunteers have been hard at work tearing off old paneling, removing ceiling tiles, ceiling tile tracks, uncovering windows and knocking down walls. Soon a couple trees that are diseased will come down in preparation for a new roof. Students from Vantage Career Center\u2019s construction department with their instructor, Larry Mengerink also began work in earnest today. Soon we\u2019ll be able to see clear up into the expanse of the drill hall. We want to thank everyone who has helped either with monetary donations or volunteering to pitch in this expansive project. We know this project would not be successful without your enthusiasm and gritty hard work. Erica Smalley, Mary Lou Worthington, Gary & Jason Showalter, Jerry Mazur, Linda McCann, Jayne Smith, Dawn Cooper, Mike Cross, Kevin Dorsch, Anna Perry, Will Hawkins, Rex Dolby, thank you for volunteering your valuable time!<\/p>\n
