Tom Browne always goes above and beyond...thank you for repairing the light above the front entry, Tom! (And that's in between leading tours, and as always, maintaining our vacuum cleaners!)
We'd like to introduce Dan Vucic, a new staff member, who is giving us much needed help with mowing and maintenance. A resident of Angola, Dan brings many years of skilled experience with him to Graycliff. (We'll take his photo soon!)
Winners of the Goya Beans raffle were: Marion Schmidt and Kathy Mehltretter. If you've ever wanted to tell them that they are full of beans, now is the time!
Last but not least, we have some good news to report...which will have an impact of many of you. For many decades, there has been a gas well behind the two little sheds near the parking lot. We believe it was installed by the Fathers. The well has been capped, but not plugged. With the cost of gas rising, we recently had the well checked out, and as it turns out, it produces enough gas to heat the Pavilion...and possibly more. We'll see over this coming winter. The gas well will be uncapped, and gas lines laid adjacent to the parking lot, running to the side of the Pavilion where gas enters the building. This means that these areas will be torn up in the near future...but this should save us substantially this year and the years to come. So please bear with us!
Thanks for all you do for Graycliff!
