Work on the Parking Lot repairs is imminent. The existing parking lot will be stripped and excavated, a new base and asphalt surface installed, and parking stall lines painted. Work is expected to be done during mid-week, at which time parking on the street and lawn adjacent to the driveway may be required. Parking on Sunday is not expected to be significantly affected. Work on the driveway and a new light post at Beaver Dam road will follow, perhaps in the Spring, depending on the final results of the capital campaign and weather.

Results of the capital campaign as of Monday, October 5, 2015 are shown in the chart below. We are nearing our goal!
