VIE I`I.1$AMS <br /> Connecting veterans,families and the community since 1983 <br /> r 247 Stevens Street, Suite E • Hyannis, MA 02601 <br /> q OU IREA(M 508.778.1590 • Fax 508.778,1094 <br /> r� :I:1\l"I'I:li. www,capeveterans.com <br /> r <br /> In the past two years however, we have seen to it that the building is fully insured and have <br /> made the following improvements: <br /> • $2,850 worth of landscaping and parking repairs with the collaboration of the <br /> Peninsula Council and their contacts in exchange for a one month abatement of <br /> the rent they have paid us since we allowed them to move in within twenty four <br /> hours of the flood damage done to their prior office <br /> • $3000 worth of clean-up of storm damage, and repair of some rodent infestation, <br /> again with the Coordination of the Peninsula Council which helped us to bring the <br /> bill to about $1500 with the help of Mashpee businesses, Quality Tree and Fix--All <br /> Cape Cod. <br /> • We have also had the deck power-washed and stained, for about $1000, one <br /> fourth of what it would have cost without the collaboration of local vendors. <br /> • Finally, we are in the process of repairing some leakage from the skylights <br /> brought to our attention by the Peninsula Council using the proceeds from an <br /> insurance claim which we filed. We are also pursuing cost estimates for exterior <br /> power washing and staining. <br /> In addition to the specific examples above of simple maintenance of the building which we view <br /> as a significant asset to be carefully preserved, we have begun consulting with service providers, <br /> certification experts and architects in order to further our intent to provide a much needed Senior <br /> Veteran Day Care on the first floor of the building. We are currently in the process of selling our <br /> Hyannis facility, and in our strategic planning have included the use of a portion of those funds to <br /> begin our renovations of the Grace Building base on the required specifications of a senior day <br /> care center. <br /> The maintenance and improvement of this building, which is one of our most valuable assets, has <br /> always been and will remain one of our highest priorities. The reciprocal collaboration of many <br /> constituents in'the Mashpee community in assisting us in that goal has been genuinely appreciated. <br /> Serving Veterans of All Conflicts and Eras -- <br />
