Painting Town Hall
It has been a bit like Tom Sawyer painting his fence and getting everyone in tow n to help. W e started
w ith painting the tow n hall and soon had a donation of a new sign, an offer to restore the bench in front
and a new garbage can. Be sure to drive-by the tow n hall. It looks like a new building. M any thanks to
Barry Holm for envisioning and organizing the project and the actual painting of the building. A special
thanks to the other donors. W e can take pride in our new look and it was all donated by our residents.
