Property

It's been a busy summer for property. The CEB parking lot was re-sealed; the CEB siding and roof were power washed and the windows were cleaned. It all looks great. The insurance settlement from the July flooding problem has been received and work has begun to replace the damaged baseboard moldings. Thank you, Bob Delia and Jim Dornbusch, for stepping up to do the repairs. At the parsonage, the hanging tree limbs left over from Hurricane Sandy have been trimmed and removed from the property. The large oak tree, or what is left of it, next to the driveway will be taken down in October. The most exciting news is that the Mission 300 work at the parsonage to replace the siding, windows and add insulation has started. Jack Hall with Cornerstone Custom Construction was awarded the renovation contract after approval by the Tewksbury Historical Preservation Society. The windows will be replaced barring no unforeseen problems when the siding is removed. A big thank you to Jay Wieder and Harold Wrede for their hard work and dedication to this important project. A couple of other things - mark your calendars for the 300th annual Fall clean up/Work day scheduled for Saturday November 23 from 9 am to 1 pm. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Watch for clean up updates in the coming month. Also I am in the process of getting the property committee's "To Do" list posted on the Zion website. Keep an eye out for it and get back to me with any questions. Thanks again to all property committee members and volunteers. You make Zion shine!
