Moving Chairs

The first thing to do before you rebuild a building is to empty everything out of the old building. That is the process we started today. It was hot and sticky in Montpelier today, but we loaded up 52 upholstered chairs, uncounted number of grey folding chairs, 1 small bookcase, and several pieces of framed art work from the walls and headed toward Middlesex. Our caravan of two pick up trucks, two Honda vans, and an aging Subaru wagon was held up briefly by the "All Species Day" parade marching through the middle of the capital city (only in Montpelier!). Some of our vehicles waited and watched the parade, others took a circuitous route around the parade, but we all arrived at Camp Mead at about the same time. We filled one side of a duplex cabin with chairs and headed home. Back at the synagogue others were packing boxes of books and religious school supplies. There is still much work to do before we will be ready for the contractors to start their work.
