Current Status
We have a schedule to be on the planning Commission agenda. We should be on the Oct 8 agenda. Once the agenda is posted (usually one week prior to the meeting) we will be able to see what the commission is being asked to approve. This should cover the changes to the landscaping, parking lot, and building changes. Several of us plan to attend the meeting to provide information and support.
We have applied for 2 grants to help with the upgrades needed to the buildings. The results of the applications will not be known for several weeks.
Our application for exempt status has been approved by the state. This allows us to apply for a raffle permit. We should have the results in a few weeks so we will be able to have a raffle at our Taste of the Intermountain Area dinner in November. If you are willing to donate toward the raffle or know of anyone that we should talk to please let us know.
We will be hosting a clean up day at Washburn park on Sat Sept. 12 from 9 to 12. We will also have a booth at the Fall Festival held at Washburn park Sept 20th from 1 to 5,
Our next 2 fundraisers are the Taste of the Intermountain Area November 7th and Giving Tuesday on Dec 3rd.

Presbyterian Church
Our engineer is continuing to draw up the plans for the building. The upgrades identified so far are to the restrooms in the classroom building. The restrooms will become unisex and the current men's room will be enlarged to meet ADA requirements.
Plans are also to build a raised walkway that joins the two buildings with a ramp up to the walkway.
