St Mark's Property Committee

Welcome to the property committee blog. Our goal is to keep you up to-date on our activities and invite you to lend your skills on one of our projects (see projects). For those of you who, like me, do not feel at home with a hammer and nail, this is could be an opportunity to recognize your potential. 

When I accepted the responsibility of chairperson for the property committee there were only four items on the committee project list. Presently there are 17 outstanding items and 3 in progress. The property committee has completed 17 projects so far this year.

Special Project - Basement Capital Improvement 

After a summer of inspections and actions needed to obtain a building permit for the basement project, work has begun and is progressing nicely. Ron's team has begun to install the sheetrock ceiling, floor supports and framing for wall structures. He expects to begin pouring the concrete floor in the near future. 

Green Committee

 The property committee has partnered with green committee, chaired by Lee Hilliard, to participate in classes conducted by STEM, an inter faith organization, and sponsored by Emmanuel Church, Hartford. There are six Lutheran Churches taking these classes to learn how to conduct effective energy audits of church facilities. 

Clean-Up Day

 Last Saturday was a wonderful success due to the great turn-out of volunteers. All of the major items on our task list were completed by noon time. My thanks to all and especially, Jan Frick for her efforts to promote clean up day. 

Respectfully Submitted,

Chuck Edinger
