The work, necessitated by a gradual deterioration ofthe building's exterior, has strengthened the building'sfoundation, preserved the brick and wood trim and prevented possible damage to its interior.
As an extra plus, we all seem to be feeling the positiveeffects of a fresh coat of paint and the improved appearance of the building.
BUS TRIP TO THESPEEDWAY
In mid-August the Athletic Association sponsored abus trip to the Champion Spark Plug 400 held at theMichigan International Speedway.
Employees and their families gathered in front of thebuses after an enjoyable and exciting day at the raceway.
Inside sources tell us the sign in the bus window was notindicative of the trip and that all went well!!
