Saturday’s objective was to cut away the drywall covering the glass block windows in the front of the building, tear down the office partitions upstairs, and remove nails from the wood salvaged during tear down last night and today.
Thank you to Otto Afanador, Wayne Holmes, Ralph Macy, Kevin Helvey, Eric Michel, Eric Henry, Sharon Dent, Greg Frazier, Bob Hykes, Nate Perry and our other volunteers for spending their Saturday working to bring order and light to the co-op building.

Eric H. thanks Ralph for volunteering his Saturday to Company Shops Market:

This is what it’s all about! People connecting and working together to do something good. We all had a great time getting started on turning the market into something really special . . . and are still at it – we were there last night, too!
