What would you do if someone dropped 30 grand in YOUR lap? Stand up and cheer, just like these
ladies in the Friday morning aerobics class at the Milano Center -- just after COA Director Jack
Beckley announced that an anonymous donor had brought the renovation fund $30,000 closer to
fruition. Mr. Beckley said that we are just a small move short of the goal -- some $180,000 to convert
the basement floor of the Milano Center into a beautiful, warm, inviting meeting place complete with
new computer facility.
