We have added an interior weeping tile system and two sump pumps to prevent water from seeping into the basement. We have replaced the flooring with a new Luxury Vinyl Tile and new stair treads will be installed shortly. We have added a handicap accessible washroom and we have completely renovated the two existing washrooms. Due to unforeseen circumstances the completion of the work has been delayed resulting in the Church being unavailable for the month of August. We apologize for the inconvenience. Within the next two months we will paint the Hall, south entrance and stairwells to give them a fresh look. The cost of the renovation is $125, We thank GOYA for their donation of $2,000 towards the renovation project and welcome any and all donations. An Evening in Greece Committee Needs Your Help We are looking for energetic and motivated members of Regina s Greek Community to join the Evening in Greece Organizing Committee. Preparations for 2015 are already getting underway and we need your help. This is a great opportunity to take part in one of Regina s premiere fundraising events. An Evening in Greece has raised more than $1,800,000 over the past 20 years to benefit worthwhile charitable organizations such as Regina Palliative Care Inc., Hospitals Foundation of Regina and many more.
