F.O.R. COMMUNITY CENTER GETS BOOST FROM LOCAL CONTRACTORS
 

By Artie Burnett

 

As work continues on the F.O.R. Community Center’s new storage facility, two local Contractors recently stepped up to provide some much appreciated help.  The contractors, both of whom are residents of the beautiful San Bernard River, provided both labor and materials to complete very important stages of the building.

 

Don Schuster of Affordable Home Repair brought his crew in and installed the siding for the building and donated an exterior door. Two weeks later, Ronnie Marches, a Houston based commercial roofing contractor donated the entire metal roof and brought in his crew to install it. These two projects required substantial work in the hottest part of the year, and both crews worked tirelessly to complete the projects.

 

Friends Of the River San Bernard extend thanks and sincere appreciation to Don and Ronnie and their workers for a job very well done. Both of these projects were significant to the completion of the storage building and to our beautiful Community Center and could not have been done without the assistance of these gentlemen who care so much and gave so willingly of their time and materials.  Again, thanks to both of you for your wonderful efforts.

 

Another F.O.R.Community Center project draws near completion - thanks to the many wonderful volunteers who devoted their time, talent and energy to make it happen. The new storage building lacks only a few more touches to be 'open for business'. A much needed asset to F.O.R., the storage building will house many of the items currently stored in the pantry inside the main building and many items farmed out to individuals homes for safe keeping. It will also provide sheltered protection for the lawn equipment. This is only made possible by the dedicated volunteers, generous donations - and a lot of hard work.
