The Chapter Room is Painted

The entire chapter room is now painted. We had everything done..kitchen, bath, main room, study, president's office-even the cabinets in the kitchen and the shelves in the study were done! The painter worked out a really sweet deal for us. He and his crew did a very nice job. We are very pleased. The front four windows now have blinds (we installed those today).

Here's something I'll bet many of you didn't know. There is a boarded up window on the east side of the main room. Whoever did it decades ago (we think the maintenance dept. back in the 60's) just taped some sheet rock over it, textured it and threw some paint on it. It's not insulated, you can feel the heat coming from it. Now that the walls are painted one color, its outline is slightly evident. We'll hang something over it, not to worry. It was just a weird thing to discover.

We didn't take any pictures today because all of the old furniture and everything from the study are piled up in the middle of the main room. Nothing can be put on the shelves until they are dry (which will be Saturday morning).

We need to give a big thank you to Margaret (Myers) and Penney (Denman) for dealing with the painters. They had to let them in the CR before 8:00 every morning, check their work and make sure all the touchups were done and make sure everything was locked up at night. Margaret had to run to the paint store a few extra times for paint and supplies. Joanne (Williford) is taking care of the accounting end of all of this. She is dealing with International...not an easy thing and keeping all of our finances in order. Sandy Andonian is the chapter advisor and is a treasure. She gets the younger girls involved; they moved all the furniture so we could paint and they're going to move it all back and reshelve all those supplies. Also a big thank you to all of you who have sent in donations, you have made this part of the makeover possible.

Now, it's on to furniture! If you haven't sent a donation, we could sure use it now. Rush/Recruitment is in a couple of weeks.
