At the start of this week, we had one of the worst floods our building has ever had. We could not be more thankful for the amazing members of our community who came out on a Sunday to help us handle this flood. We would like to first and foremost thank JW Delong of DeLong Plumbing as well as Oasis Hotel & Conv. Center, Ascend Hotel Collection, The Home Depot, and the West family from Positronic. Your help made it so we could have campers in the building the day after and guests in the following Tuesday. Thank you!
