Photos From the Re-Roofing Project

It’s hard to see what’s really going on up there from the ground…but here’s proof that there is a big crane in the back yard, and laborers carrying around plywood on top of the House. It’s safe to assume that the re-roofing is being done, too.

According to Brother Brian Flournoy (of RSG Roofing Supply – who donated all the supplies for the project), it’s coming along well. There was a good bit of rotted “soffit and molding” that needed to be replaced…and they’re taking care of that as we speak. According to Flournoy, “…as for the top of the roof and the project, looks good and almost done. It will look great once all of the rotted soffit is replaced.”

Alumni Board Update

Q1, 2008 RECAP:

  • April’s Active/Alumni work weekend at the House was a success, and on a shoestring budget. All funds were donated by alumni. Pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/reither/tags/20080330/
  • EtaOmega.org website went down because Esposto was the administrator, and he moved to the Bay Area. Obviously it’s back up now…brand new design.
  • Our finances/books needed attention – they were all still paper-based until this year. Everything has been migrated to QuickBooks now.
  • We found a new CPA in Stockton to file our taxes (charges $500, but says he can eliminate some fees that we currently owe)
  • New Chapter President (Adam Shea) and his exec are working to get 16 leases signed for 2008/2009.

CURRENT:

  • Got volunteers (Ed Stone, Mark Geenen, Brian D., and Tyler T.) to help out with Alumni Fundraising.
  • Priority summer project is to fix the house roof and gutters to prevent further leaking.
    • Brian Flournoy is heading this and donating all materials.
    • We still need to raise money to pay for the labor…which is estimated at $25,000 – please donate to the House Fund if you can.

Pictures from the year we re-built the cottage, raised $30,000 from alumni donations, and had one hell of a 25th Anniversary party in Chico.
