This has definitely been an interesting and challenging year.\u00a0Of course, we are no stranger to challenges, considering that we are nearing the end of our 5th year of work and progress towards the ultimate renovation of Jasper School and Bauman Hall.<\/strong>\u00a0We have had a much harder time fundraising, of course, but we continue to move ahead and try to adapt.
In the beginning of last year we were successful in raising several thousand dollars in order to install security cameras and motion sensor lights around the building to put a stop to any future vandalism attempts after the theft of pipes and wiring and damage to our electrical boxes.\u00a0We also raised enough for three dehumidifiers to put in the basement, which dropped the humidity from around 75% to 55-60%, critical for reducing any potential mold or mortar issues and deterioration of plaster.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Due to the Covid Pandemic, we had to cancel all the spring and summer events, which would normally net us around $5,000-$8,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
