OTHER NEWS
I know you're getting questions from the public about when we will replace the Simmons book drop that got wiped out by the city snowplow. Looks like that unit will finally ship to us at the end of next week, just in time for the spring thaw. We'll get it installed as soon after that as we can.
Also in Simmons news, the air conditioner replacement project that we've been waiting to do for 2 years will finally happen this spring. Camosy should have that unit by the end of March. We'll try very hard to get it installed before the summer heat is upon us.
Our 100 Extraordinary Women campaign is underway! Thanks to all of you who have stepped forward with pledges to honor the women in your life. Giving is easy. For less than $18 per month over 5 years you can add the name of a remarkable woman to the wall of the new Children's Library. If you need some inspiration, take a look at the this play/learning area crafted by Luci Creative. We are talking with them about participating in the design of the new library. Can you even imagine the joy we would bring to Kenosha's kids? For a pledge form, see Brandi. And please spread the word!
Congratulations to the entire Southwest team for the remarkable carpeting project! What a makeover for our worn flooring! We're ahead of schedule, so we'll return to normal hours @SW beginning next Wednesday. Huge thank yous and loads of praise for Shannon and her wonderful team, our top-notch Maintenance crew, Rob, Aaron, Brandi, Katie E. , everybody! You all made this such a smooth and successful project. I am in awe. Bravo!
Northside is next. We'll begin the carpet replacement mid-May. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer.
Big Thanks to Aaron for our beautifully designed t-shirts! We wear them with pride. You are the master of graphic design!
