Those
that I have not mentioned above, Thank You Very Much for your help. We
could not of done this without each and everyone of you.
This
was truly a group effort and we are very grateful and encouraged about
what we have accomplished and what we can
and will accomplish in the future together. If we all give a little of
our time, talents and treasures we can do a lot to help others without
creating a strain or overwhelming ourselves. In one weekend and less
than $3000 in expenditures and donations we were able to accomplish the
following:
- Completely removed the old 16"x16"
thermal tile ceiling and thousands of little metal clips that was
holding the ceiling in place.
- Installed 76 sheets of 1/4"
maple veneer sheeting on the ceiling. Mark Moore had to drop the
ceiling fans and lights so we could install the sheets and then
re-secure the 8' strip lights and re-hang the ceiling fans.
- Mark Moore installed new exit signs and wired some of the existing light fixtures to be security night lights.
- John Tanner ran the water and drain line then installed the new drinking fountain.
-
Repaired sheet-rock, installed wainscoting and completely painted the facility.
-
Gerald Hall stripped the old tar on the parapet wall and cap, then
installed new mesh rag and mopped tar all over the parapet to fix and
prevent any future leaks in the roof.
- Power washed the exterior.
- Did a deep cleaning and re-installed all of the table and chairs.
-
We provided King's Kids with children's bibles, coloring books, reading
books, crayons, markers, pencils, drawing paper, paper towels, toilet
paper, cups, plates, bowls and utensils. If possible, please send more
of these items to King's Kids as you can. These items are expensive
and many kids use this facility, James can really use the help to stay
stocked up.
Please go to our website to see photos
from this weekend and keep a eye out for the video. We encourage you
to tell others
about our mission. We are working hard to spread the word and grow, we
have other upcoming projects that we need help with financially. If
you feel moved to help, please contact me to make arrangements.
Great Job Everyone!!!
God Bless,
Ken
