Is there a way to link to it from outside? Sheila couldn't find it, but will look for it.

Reminder: food waste has to be taken out to the dumpster; do not leave food waste in the indoor garbage cans.
We had a fire inspection this past month. Everything clear. They requested we clear out the pathway upstairs to ensure a safe escape. The board will follow up to make sure this is cleaned up.
There was a power outage recently. Our emergency lighting worked well.

James has some tools to lend. Belt sander, palm sander, drum sander, table saw.
New printer: free to use for a few pages, but please pay if printing substantial amounts.
