A team of seven volunteers under Dave Witchger's excellent leadership started the first work project at St. Francis House on Saturday, October 19.  The work consisted of scraping, caulking, glazing, and painting five windows and the trim on the Good Shepherd Episcopal Chapel, attached to St Francis House.  Some of the window sills and trim also had to be replaced.  On the first five-hour work detail were Mike Garstecki, Mike Kerwin,  Larry Mabus, Mike and Pat Miller, Mark Swain, and Dave Witchger.

On the following Saturday, October 26, a team of Mike Frantz, Mike Kerwin, Lanny Mabus, and leader Dave Witchger finished the inside and outside caulking, glazing, and painting.  Again, they worked about five hours.

With the window project completed, the volunteers are discussing with Ken Mace the replacement of the fascia on the front of the Chapel.  However, access for this project is complicated by an awning located over the Chapel's entrance.
