Trustees Corner
“Beautify, restore and improve”
Lately, you may have noticed the general improvement in the overall landscaping, new plantings, trimming of the bushes and gardens, and the regular and remote parking lot.
Chris Ladasau is our team captain for landscaping assignments. He is assisted by Gwen Gransberg who maintains and tends the planters. Wayne Hartman keeps our lawns green and controls weeds including the playground. Four Seasons Lawn Care is our mowing contractor. David Hartman continually trims up our shrubs, including the remote parking lot and Brian Rytlewski, Jerry Tucker and Mike Wendte replaced the pickets on our fencing in the remote parking lot and vicarage, and Jerry replaced the photocell on the outdoor spot lighting.
Josh Levendusky is our licensed electrician and Cliff Brown our licensed plumber. Steve Bute, Duane Brosowski and I assist our teammates.
Pastor’s sermon talked about the family of Trinity and the combined ministries. We trustees create a family of fellow trustees working together on needed projects. It is a great committee, and we welcome all into our trustee family.
Drop me an e-mail if you have an interest in serving. My email is jdavidanderson3@cox.net
Joel Anderson.
Ps. The extra benefit of volunteering is getting to know other parishioners in a joyful environment
