Lions 4 Kids House update


Good morning everyone! 
 
We have many people to thank for many, many amazing things and that will happen in our next message.  You have been SO incredibly generous and it is deeply appreciated! We simply could not do what we do without YOU.  Humbly, we THANK YOU!!
 
In this installment:
-  Request for actors and actresses for upcoming theater presentation
- Status of remodel and assistance requested
 
 
Thespians or aspiring ones:                                  
Joan Bolen is looking for several men and women interested in performing in an upcoming Bonney Lake Community Theater production of The Rainmaker. The date is undetermined at this time.  If interested please contact Joan at 253-447-4005.
 
 
Extreme Makeover: Community Edition update
 
Please note:  due to delays in materials procurement and reconstruction our public Open House and Volunteer/Donor Appreciation party, scheduled for Sunday December 7th is being delayed until January.  Please stay tuned for further information.
 
 
This Saturday, November 8th from 9-1 we will be:
- completing framing for dressing rooms
- cleaning up the building
- completing plumbing rough-in
- working in the garden (rain or shine)
   - finishing the stone patio and walkway and sanding it in; planting thyme between stones
   - digging sod, turning earth, removing weeds, raking rocks
   - planting bulbs (must create spaces for them by doing the above sod/rock/weed removal)
 

We are experiencing some delays in materials procurement which is setting back our time table.  Reconstruction will begin in earnest next week with insulating walls, drywall and window installation. 
 
We are requesting someone who is experienced in drywall taping.   Do you know someone who may be willing to help?
 
It is our goal to be ready for painting during Thanksgiving week. 
 
The week following Thanksgiving will be installing floors, doors, trims, cabinets and hanging racks. We will arrange work hours during the week, including days and evenings, as well as weekends, and will keep you updated on progress in the event you have an hour or two you are able to assist. 
 
Location of the new building: 18429-89th St. E., Bonney Lake.  From 184th/Main Street, head east on 89th St. to the end of the block. We are on the right at the stop sign. It's gray with white trim, gorgeous new gutters, a brown and orange garage door and no cement surfaces in the front. It's hard to miss but progress is unmistakeable!
 
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at cwells-reed@hotmail.com
 
On behalf of the kids who are OUR future, THANK YOU!!!  Carol
