Breaking more Ground

On the first Sunday of June, on a sunny day after church, a crowd of 60 or so gathered at the Community House site for a Groundbreaking Ceremony. A utility building had appeared the day before (thanks to Jon and Sally Fogg), and plastic shovels were passed to 20 of the many people who had played important roles in bringing the project this far. Judy Lanier-Gallagher acted as MC, reciting a brief history of PABI’s struggle to reach this point. Just before noon Construction Committee chairman Don Tritsch, using a real shovel, lifted out the first scoop of sand to mark the end of the preliminary stage: the lengthy planning for what promises to become an important asset to the community.
