Building & Grounds Report

BU I L D I N G S & G r o u n d s R e p o r t

The Buildings and Grounds Committee is charged with the maintenance and upkeep of our beautiful campus in Upperville, VA. We would like to thank the members of the committee for their dedicated support to Trinity over the past 12 months. Their help in finding vendors, managing projects, offering advice and expertise and all the many other things when needed has been key to our success. This year Vestry approved the charter to establish the Trinity Garden Guild as a subcommittee of Buildings and Grounds. Including a couple of organizational meetings this fall, they have already been instrumental in caring for our campus landscape and grounds. A list of their accomplishments is included below. To be sure, our efforts to keep the campus looking neat, trimmed and always ready would be impossible without the able assistance of our staff starting with the outstanding dedication of our sexton, Tommy Breeden, who continues to lead all of the required maintenance efforts. We are also fortunate to have Betsy, and Richard available to help when needed with projects whether large or small, history of what was done to get where we are, and advice when the need arises. Their willing and valuable help to B+G is much appreciated.

So… in addition to paying for heating oil/gas, electricity to keep the lights on, cleaning, mowing, painting, repairing, and replacing “stuff”, here is a list of the major projects that we’ve completed during the past 12 months:
