Baby, It's COLD Outside!

Hope everyone is staying warm today in this blizzard, with bitter temperatures.  The latest news from Graycliff is that the Visitor Pavilion is getting a much-needed update, with all walls being painted, new carpeting, and tiles for the bathroom floors.

Last week, and on Saturday, Graycliffians were busy packing everything up--office supplies, the entire  gift shop, and even the grids on the walls that hold the display of historic photos.

Most everything was then moved into a POD rented for the occasion...and volunteers were asked to help at the end by removing the leftover beer from the refrigerator, since that was moved into the Foster House garage.

Special thanks to Dale Nason and Margaret Santi, who helped over several days, to volunteer extraordinaire Gail Solowski, and to Board members Ken Graham and Kevin Hoffman for all their help!  Here are two photos....more photos will be posted as soon as a computer is accessible to download the rest of them!
Dale Nason, packing away...and then he returned with extra boxes and two dollys....you are the Bomb, Dale!

The ever glamorous Margaret Santi who may well be ice skating today. 

We think the renovations will be completed by Saturday, January 18th...and possibly sooner.  If you're willing to help with UNPACKING....give us a call toward the end of this week (Graycliff is closed today and tomorrow because of the storm) and let us know....It's supposed to warm up to the 40s this coming week....

In the meantime, stay warm and safe!
