BUILDINGS & Grounds Report

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.

In its first full year of existence, the Trinity Garden Guild, as a subcommittee of Buildings and Grounds, has made remarkable and beautiful improvements to our landscape… I can’t wait to see what happens this spring! You can read all about the Garden Guild in their report also included in this annual report.

2022 saw the end of an era as Tommy Breeden retired and went hunting. Tommy’s able-bodied assistance and support to Trinity for the many years that he was sexton allowed many of us to keep sleeping at night knowing that things were cared for properly. We thank him and wish him and his wife, Jennifer, many happy years of retirement.

We are happy to have hired his replacement, Kit Hall. Kit is learning fast and has already shown his skills in various projects around our campus. Of course, we are blessed to have Betsy and Richard available to help, when needed, with projects whether large or small and to offer advice and support 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 since last during the past 12 months:
