Etc. . . etc. . . etc. . . and so forth . . .

 

vWork is continuing on the Railroad Rooms.  It is expected that the RR rooms will be mostly finished by the end of Summer.  If you have ideas, comments, or need more info, contact Jamie Williams at 706-682-5131.
vThe Schoolhouse is still organizing and furnishing the office.  We have had some items donated (THANKS ya’ll!) but still need help with finding office-type chairs, shelving, etc...  Supplies, of the office type, and plastic storage boxes (small, medium and large) are also needed. We would also like to add a VCR and a wheeled TV cart to the building. 
vWe are still in need of kitchen items: a commercial-type ice machine, cloth towels, sponges and rags, mixer, blender, cookie sheets, paper towel holders,  towel racks, restaurant-type plastic glasses, plastic gloves, cleaning supplies,  First Aid kits,  a supply of regular and heavy duty extension cords, tablecloths (both round and rectangular), shelves installed over sink, and shelves installed (maybe track-type?) in the storage room
vDon’t forget about the free coupon-exchange outside the Library.  It could use some occasional help with organization, too.
vCan you touch-up paint?  Tighten doorknobs?  Move chairs?  Change light bulbs?  Hold a ladder?                          Whistle while you work? 
vBig building = regular upkeep. . .  Regular users are quite good at helping  us keep the building in generally good shape.  But we must also keep the grounds and inside neat.  How about a covered dish (or finger food) gathering about once a month for this purpose?  As with most things, the more the merrier. 
vMostly, the MH Schoolhouse Foundation just needs YOU.  It is through service that we provide leadership.   Everyone has talents.  EVERYONE!
