That is how close we are to finishing the latest “update/refreshing” of the Transition House. Our volunteers have done a great job of cleaning, repairing, and replacing in order to have it ready for the next guest. While things are still in “Covid-Mode” at the Charleston Center and they are not ready to send us new residents, we are trying to get the house ready to offer temporary shelter to families that cannot stay at the Ronald McDonald House because of Covid-protocol. That may or may not happen, but we are preparing to make the offer.
Here is a list of the items still to be addressed. If you would be willing and able to take any of these off the list, please let us know. Call Neale at 762-0244 or email me at tombrown41@comcast.net. The list: Hang closet doors in the Master Bedroom; level the washing machine and dryer; repair the hall bathroom light fixture and vent cover; cut and tie the cords on all the blinds; minor woodwork repair on the upstairs dresser trim; paint the inside of the metal medicine cabinets that are so rusted. The one big exterior need is to caulk and paint the outside trim. This would need to be coordinated with a power wash of the exterior.
It is as close as a two foot putt! We are almost there. Our thanks to the volunteers who did dozens of projects that got us to this point! Hallelujah and Amen.

This Sunday at 3:00 I will be participating in the Four Chaplains Memorial Service at the American Legion on Folly Road. The public is welcomed to this inspiring service. I have been privileged to participate and consider it an honor to do so.
