Rosemary [blue shirt and cane] gives a tour
We just had a fantastic weekend of collaborative volunteering at the Woman's Club of Spokane. Our budget is minuscule, but our need to maintain our historic clubhouse is pressing each month. Spokane Preservation Advocates [SPA] has a "Doing It" project about four times a year. We were thrilled when they asked to help us with painting. Our Large Auditorium ceiling is 2700 square feet and has 17 1/2 foot high ceiling; think lots of scaffolding and oceans of heavy plastic to cover hardwood floors, huge windows and dangling historic light fixtures. The club provided a speghetti lunch for 50 people and the paint. Oh my gosh was this a great day. We were expecting 25 people and the weather was awful [slick black ice]. Imagine my surprise when all those people showed up and they wanted to work. SPA also gave us a matching grant last year to replace broken window panes in the room below the Auditorium.
