LA Subud gets a new roof
After applying for and receiving a $20,000 loan from the Region in September, a team led by Luqman Katz at the LA Center identified the best contractors to fix the roof drainage and replaced the roof with a high-tech white vinyl surface which not only repels water but also deflects sunlight. This will make the building much cooler in the summer, especially on the third floor.
During the Regional Council meeting held in LA on Nov 6-8, council members were able to go up to the roof and see the results for themselves. Pretty dazzling in the bright LA sun!
Sonoma Subud improves drainage
In November, Sonoma Subud made great progress on managing moisture around the building. They dug and installed a trench drain which will direct water away from the building and crawl space out to the property line. Fans to keep the crawl space dry are also being installed.
A huge thank you goes to Arcata Subud for a substantial contribution which enabled this project to be completed before the rains came. And, high fives to Rick Russell (Chair) and his team, who accomplished this work at half the original estimated cost!
