What Have We Been Up To At The Fertigs Community Center?

We have been very busy at the Community Center lately! We have so many wonderful upgrades planned for the Community Center. We have appointed grounds/playground caretakers and they have been looking over all of our playground equipment, some is safe and some needs work. The caretakers have dismantled the old Merry-Go-Round and have been looking into ways to update the large slide that we have. We are also planning on putting a new piece of playground equipment in, this new playground equipment will have a spot for infant/toddler swings or we will purchase a separate swing set for the infant/toddler swings. We are still in the planning stages and looking at many different playground equipment ideas, more details will come as the planning goes on.

 We finally have our new windows installed! What a huge difference these new windows make in the building. A few amazing volunteers worked late nights to get these windows installed prior to Old Home Day. Next we would like to get working on the siding, but with the weather not cooperating much lately we many have to wait until after Old Home Day to get the siding completed. Inside the building we have started painting the walls to brighten things up. Currently the dining hall has been painted white. Between the Community Center Events and our many reserved/booked dates we have not had a chance to make it back in the building to continue painting. We have put up a door in between the dining hall and the hall way that leads to the restrooms, this way the main door leading to the restrooms can be left unlocked during certain times allowing patrons to use indoor facilities.

Our caretakers have also been planning a remodel for out outdoor restrooms. In the coming weeks they will be hard at work replacing roofs, vents and repairing any wood that has become damaged over the years.

After months of discussion we have finally decided to take the leap and purchase new tables and chairs to be used in the dining hall. The new tables and chairs will give the dining hall another lightening affect. We can not believe how light and bright the dining hall has become over the past year! **The new tables and chairs will still allow us the capacity that our current tables and chairs give us** .

Wow we have all been so busy at the Community Center over the past year, it is incredible what has been accomplished. We have so many more changes and updates to come. If you haven’t seen the new updates stop by the Community Center! We are always in need of volunteers to help us complete these updates, if you would be interested in lending a hand contact us on our website, on our Facebook Page or simply call us!
