Good news! Our HVAC system repairs are almost completed!
The repairs should be wrapped up within the next few days! Our technicians are hard at work pulling a vacuum, testing for leaks, and preparing to recharge the system, so everything runs cool and smoothly again. If they discover a leak, they’ll repeat the process to make sure the repair is done right.
We appreciate your patience as we work to get our facility back to peak comfort!”

A Conversation on the Constitution
Monday, Oct. 27 | 10 am-Noon
Have you ever wondered why, and how, our Constitution came into being?
This was not the obvious next step after our first government under the Articles of Confederation failed. Why did the men who wrote our Constitution place strict limits on the powers of the new government they were creating?
What did the people of those times understand terms like "regulate commerce" and "general welfare” to mean?
The answers to such questions are critical to understanding our Constitution.
Come join our historical conversation.
