Work has begun on the waterproofing of the Narthex, a project related to #1. The roofers will begin work on the sanctuary roof soon when temperatures allow.

Most members and visitors to West End enter through the “magic doors” on the first floor.  You’ve probably noticed some recent updates that make this lobby more appealing and hospitable. Now, we would like to complete the project.

Solution:  The Hospitality Committee has coordinated with the Building Committee to specify new paint, some new furniture and better communications equipment.

Cost:  $10,200

Condition: The restrooms are in disrepair and are not properly equipped for handicapped individuals.

Solution: The storage room by the entrance to McWhirter Hall will be converted to a new men’s restroom. This location provides better access for new plumbing, so the men will have an all new restroom for less money than it would take to bring the existing restroom up to date. The women’s room will get a facelift: new fixtures and finishes. Both will be made more accessible.

Cost: $68,220
