Hello everyone!
Upcoming Volunteer Training: Just a reminder if you are interested in volunteering at Lions 4 Kids House we have a training session this Wednesday evening, January 14th, at 7 in our OLD building at 9004-184th Ave. E., in front of the Bonney Lake Library. The next trainings will take place on February 11th and March 11th in our NEW building.
Status of new building construction:
It is SO exciting to see things progressing in our wonderful new facility! The walls are now textured thanks to the efforts of Brad Doll; we have donated batt insulation installed over half of the attic (thanks to donations by Ruth Wergin and Home Depot) with installation courtesy of Kevin Havener (a true lifesaver was he!); the floors are being cleaned up thanks to the efforts of Kevin, Mike Connelly, Ruth Wergin and Marilyn Long in preparation for new flooring. There was a bit more old sheetrock tear-out required accomplished by Ruth Wergin. Our new back door (which will actually be our main entry) and side light window were installed by Bryan Long. We've been able to get all the drywall mud, primer and texture dry thanks to the propane heater donation from 410 Rentals. THANK YOU ALL!
This week we get our new windows from Champion Windows, the walls and ceilings will be painted, the new front slider installed, the balance of the rough-in plumbing will be done, our furnace and ductwork will be cleaned and serviced, interior light fixtures installed thanks to Ruben Hernandez of Honor Electric, and our floor-mounted cabinets will be moved and installed on Saturday.
REQUEST: I am requesting about a dozen guys or gals who may be able to assist us with the moving and installation of cabinets starting Saturday 1/17 at 9 a.m. until noon-1 p.m. Pick up trucks will be most helpful. If you can't stay the whole time, we still appreciate any assistance to get the cabinets moved out of their storage place and into the new building. Pizza will be ordered around noon to refuel our helpers.
If you are able to assist please let me know and I'll send you the local address where to meet to retrieve the cabinets. THANK YOU!!
The quest goes on for flooring, but I am confident we'll find something this week.
REQUEST for floor installation help: Mike Connelly has offered to begin installing the laminate-type material during the day the week of the 18th. If you would be able to assist him, please let me know. The goal is to get the flooring down so our finish contractors, Green Earth Construction, can being installing doors and trim late that week.
REQUEST for "odd jobs" assistance: On Saturday the 24th we'll be installing wall-mounted hanging racks, bathroom grab bars, mirrors, fitting room hooks, kitchen/bath laminate countertops, tile backsplashes, bathroom sink/ faucet and and essentially any odds and ends that need to be done before a final inspection. It is our hope we can request our final inspection for 1/26 to allow time for any necessary fixes. (It would be helpful to have someone experienced in laminate countertop installation too!)
Please email me if you are able to volunteer for any of the above. Thank you SO MUCH!!
Our new roof material will be installed sometime before the end of January and we await word early this week on installation of our exterior hard surfaces.
MOVING: Moving from the old building commences Saturday morning 1/31 and hopefully will be finished that day. We'll be open for clients from 10-2, moving non-essential stuff while the building is open to clients, and final clothing and racks after the doors close. What we can't finish on Saturday we'll do on Sunday. We open for clients on Wednesday February 4th.
Without the incredible teamwork and generosity of so many this huge project spanning nearly six months would not have been possible. It is such a cool little space and will make such a difference to so many children. They are going to be totally jazzed!
Ken Freed, Windermere Real Estate and Freed Insurance Group had a putt-putt golf tourney in December that raised over $500 for Our Kids. Thank you ALL for your efforts! (This was a VERY cool course!!)
When you're out and about shopping at McLendon, Home Depot and 410 Rentals, please say thank you to them for supporting the renovation of our new Lions 4 Kids House. Home Depot in particular has been an incredible materials donation partner and have extended so much support.
We have sustained a very high level of clothing donations this winter which enables us to put all "Our Kids" on a level playing field with their peers. Because of YOU they have an improved chance at a better life. Thank YOU for making it possible to do what we do!
With a very full and thankful heart, Carol
