We are excited over here. Our long awaited chairs, donated by our Executive Director - Rick Mascaro , arrived this morning. Don't they look nice and comfy? As a bonus we gained four more seats.
We are grateful for the crew that took down the former red chairs and hauled the new chairs up three flights of stairs and assembled them. Thank you Shaggy Ruch (crew boss), Emily Hanson , Bill, Lily and her brother. KC Mathews.
