New Campus Update
Priming is complete thanks to a great community effort. The ceilings and
concrete walls have now been sprayed with a finish coat of white paint and
we expect to wrap up the wall painting this week. Please take a couple of
hours this week to get over and roll. The construction committee has been
soliciting for materials with great success. The latest successes include
all of the paint for the interior at 40% off and a pledge from the
manufacturers of Marmoleum flooring to donate a portion of the new upper
level floor. Upcoming projects include cutting donated window trim,
rebuilding the interior stairs and removing the old upper level vinyl tile
floor. This Saturday is our next community workday and we hope to see you
all there. Stay tuned, we're expecting April to be month of great progress.

Tunbridge Select board called and told us that we cannot park on Hanson Road
anymore - the small road that goes by our new building. If people park
there, the fire truck or ambulance can't get by, and therefore it is unsafe.
So please respect this request. Thank you.
