The building’s siding still has to be com- pleted, a fence has to be built and landscap- ing and yard clean up needs doing. “We would like to have it done by the grand opening. _ “It would be great if we got someone with siding experience,” she said, adding anyone who is able to help would be welcomed. “We'll probably have a work party the weekend of the 28th just because the grand opening is the next weekend.” ; Anyone interested in volunteering some time to the Kootenay Columbia Child Care Society at 749-11th Ave. can call 365-8448. | News editor Scott David Harrison does hi is best not to slam his own given the inspiration they needed to hang siding with next to day as he volunteered to hang siding for the KCCCS. ps EET NE: EGY ad aham Volunteer Chris Scharf has been the main-thrust behind the KCCCS sidi i idi is ti siding campaign, energy towards making the new facility a place worth visiting 9 paign, providing his time and Jonathan Green News reporter Neil Rachynski joined co-workers Jonathan Green, Corinne Jackson and Scott David Harrison, volunteering their Saturday to help with painting and siding.
