Special Thanks
To everyone who helped the with the clean up at the Bayou Pigeon Heritage complex last weekend (Jan. 17 - 20.
Rick and Patty Phillips and others worked many hours on the clean up of the Heritage Hall and the house (former rectory). Some unsightly bushes and trees around the main building were removed and trimming the Oak tree in front of the house, was done. Patty Phillips and Rick spent much time cleaning the inside of the Chapel / Prayer Room and light fixtures, etc.
Chris Daigle and Rick Phillips made another detailed walk thru of the site and taking notes identifying all the things that need to be looked at repair including the Outdoor Pavilion and fixing the back door entrance to the GYM, where the vandals got in..
Chris Settoon has the electrical power restored and the street lights working and trimmed the Rose plants in front of the church, improving security.
Steve & Mary Toups repaired the water lines and the water to all buildings turned on where we can now start power washing the site.
Rick has some of the power turned on in the GYM. The main lights in the gym work but the power to the classrooms is not complete yet. Plans are to get on that repair ASAP.
Chasity Easley is planning a house to house effort at Bayou Pigeon to recruit membership (very soon), if you would like to help just give her a holler! we are having a new handout printed to facilitate that effort.
