During the past month a few items on our building punch list have been corrected or changed by the Village Parks and Recreation crews.

First, the door locks on the front and back door have been changed so we can have the doors unlocked to allow people to enter. No more duct tape and wood spacer needed to keep the door open. A door closure unit was also added to each door to keep the doors closed which work very well.

The construction company working in the area has increased the number of parking spots by the building to 10 to 12 spots. Slowly the number of spots has been increasing.

The new garage which we will have half for our storage space is looking good. I believe, it was just completed. The landscaping is being done currently. The Veterans Center sign that was in front of the old building has been moved to the new garage and put in our space. That sign was given to the Vets Center by one of our members, so it has a lot of meaning to the Post.

In the last meeting I reported that I am looking for a place to hold our Post picnic. It was suggested we hold the picnic at the new post. I have evaluated that suggestion, and it is looking good. The village will bring in more tables, we have the kitchen in the post building for washing, and restrooms. As for food, we will have a food truck brought in. Good food and less cleanup. 

As a reminder, the construction area is considered an area that requires safety gear to be worn. That means hard hat and safety shoes, safety glasses to start. I recommend everyone stay out of the construction area until the construction is completed. We will inform when it is ok to go into that area.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
