Several other rooms will also be painted.  November 18 is a JV work day.  The building calendar is now being kept by Amy Griffith.  There is a plan to paint several handicap parking spaces at the west entrance of fellowship hall.  JV has a secretary, Suzan Car, who will work mornings.  A building committee has been formed under Dick Specht.  The new rangetop for the rectory is due to be installed next week.  The toilets at the church continue to be a problem.
