> Hi, Laurie,
> As a follow up to our conversation, I am sending this email to see if it might  be possible to install the  carpet in the front entry hall this year, rather than wait til next year and do the hall and main room together.
>  
> I do want to  say that we appreciate that the Board is being careful with the Club’s money, and holding off on some expenditures, especially light of some unexpected expenses we’ve incurred because of this winter’s storms.  The approach the  Board is taking is to  be commended.
>  
> Having said that, we are proposing that a small group of Club members chip in and cover half of the  cost of doing the front hall carpet now.  (As I understand it, the cost of carpet and installation for the front hall is $680, so we are proposing to pay $340 of that, if the front hall carpet can be done this year.)
>  
> Our reason for wanting to do this now is to complete the upgrade of the front hall area, since there has been so much improvement already.  The new paint, fixtures, art, curtains, coat rack, etc represent an extraordinary amount of work by Mary Pat and Jay Gibson.  Mary Pat really had a vision for how nice the area could look, and has spent so so many hours to give us all something to enjoy.  To  have this lovely fresh space, and the old carpet, seems like leaving a big effort incomplete.
>  
> So, a few of the members hoped that by offering to defray half the cost we might be able to get the new carpet in the front hall now.  Hopefully, the savings would be attractive to the  Board, and the membership could enjoy the full benefit of all the  work that  has been done sooner rather than later.
>  
> Hope this is something the Board is open to, and thank you, Laurie, for conveying the request..
>  
> All best, Nancy
