Fix the Roof
Asbury has been dealing with leaks in the roof all summer.  We have spent over $4,000 in repairs this year.  The Trustees are seeking estimates for more extensive repairs that we hope will cost less than $5,000.  Please put “roof” in the memo line of your check if you would like to contribute to the repairs.  Over $1,135 has been received.  Thank you.
