This week's newsletter from Gene

We have some construction projects going on that you have probably seen. A couple should have been completed some time ago, but there have been some issues that had to be resolved.
 
One is our parking lot. We are doing repairs, sealing cracks, seal coating and restriping. This was scheduled to be done during spring break, but rain impacted that schedule. We have been able to do the repair and sealing of the cracks, but because of our heavy building/parking lot use, we are having difficulty finding a time to vacate parts of the parking lot to do the seal coating and striping. Everything is ready, but it might be the end of school before we can complete this project. 

We spent considerable time trying to find someone to install the material in the foyer. Austin’s construction boom and the skill level required for this material have made it very hard to find someone. We did contract with a good installer a couple of weeks ago, but ran into material issues, so the installation has been only partially completed. The material issues have been resolved, so now that part of the project should be completed any time.

Another project that is in the works is reroofing the choir room area. This is the only original flat roof we have. Since we refinished the interior, some leaks have become evident. 

We are in the final stages of doing a major reworking of our entire campus signage. We have never had good signage to get people from the street to the area of the building they need to go to. Having people become lost in our building is a fairly common problem. We will start at the street, label our entries and have directional signage inside the building. This is a much needed thing for our guests and new members.
