At our last meeting Charles Smith, who is currently Vice President, was a member of the buildings congregation when it was a church and a founding member of our non-profit announced his intention to cover the cost of painting the rest of the building!

Thank you also to local contractor Tom Chaisson for offering a very generous bid for the job and to everyone else who contributed time and money toward the paint fund. We look forward to painting the Meetinghouse most likely in the spring.
