In June, the large and overgrown bushes were removed from the front of the property. The grass was dug up and a fresh coating of mulch was put down. Our goal, by the end of the 2016 summer, is to make the Fellow Craft Club House the most attractive property on the block.

In December, we installed a ductless mini-split in the FCC house to provide heating, cooling, and dehumidification in an efficient and cost saving manner. It also allows us to remove the propane tanks, which had proven costly during our cold winters.
