The Anza Community Hall may be a somewhat unfamiliar now after volunteers worked all-day Saturday, Feb. 25, to sand down the rough floor of the hall and cover the fans continuing the $162,000 building renovation required by Riverside County. New tile will be laid down on the floor with added floor structural support. Tony Ault photos

On the 20 acre lot adjacent to the offices, seen behind the chargers, is the 20 acre site where 8,000 solar power panels are being constructed to provide the cooperative an additional 2 megawatts of electrical energy for the growing power demand in the Valley.

In preparation for the annual Anza Electric Cooperative in July a call has gone out to members who might be interested in becoming members of the board. There will be three three-year seats open and a one-year at seat with elections coming July 22 at the AEC Annual Membership meeting. This year four positions are open; one three-year position from District I, one three-year position from District II and two positions from
District III, according to Katherine Maciver, AEC member services manager. In District III, one position is a standard three-year term and the other is a one year term due to the recent resignation of Joel Carlisle. Petitions are due in the AEC office no later than May 24 and each petition is required to contain 30 valid member signatures. Director candidate petitions are now available at the AEC headquarters 58470 Highway 371 in Anza.

A group of Anza volunteers and Community Hall board members pitched in Saturday, Feb. 25, to strip the floors of the community building in preparation for improving the floor support and tiling expected to begin this week. The necessary renovations, re-
quired by the Riverside County Health Department, have forced the temporary closing of the Community Kitchen and Hall for at least two weeks. Much of the Community Café improvements have been made but more is needed to keep it open as a commercial business. The hall Board and community
