1. Build a bike rack (People have been parking their bikes creatively around our church because we have no place for them. Significant numbers of church members and groups using our facility ride their bikes);
2. Fix the basketball hoop in the parking lot (People have used it in the past, but it hasn’t been functional for a while);
3. Playground equipment (Fix the tarp roof and check for other repairs. Our playground area gets used by the Preschool, members and neighborhood folks).
