| St. Peter's by-the-Sea Opportunities for voluntary improvements |
nature, the beauty of our worship space, our accessibility for the disabled, the uses that are made of our Parish Hall by other organizations, our choir, our mosaic, our Memorial Garden, our Altar Guild, and many other aspects of this organization. Yet, as we look around we see things that need to be repaired or improved. That's what this page is about. Listed here are some areas that have been pointed out as in need to volunteer effort.
work on, please do so. Some tasks require more than one person's contribution. Feel free to talk with others, to seek their assistance but not to complain.
and you think it's something volunteers could do, please be sure to email the webmaster Bill Morley (mtraley@yahoo.com) so it can be listed.
to ask that it be removed from this list. |
| Both Bathrooms: In ADA compliant bathrooms it's expected to have the under-sink pipes covered with a vinyl or PVC protection so that when wheelchairs bump the pipes the chance of damage to the pipes is minimized. If someone could buy and install the covers? Or divide the duty? Follow this link to see what is required. |

| In the Nave. Hole in the wall Near the thermostat in the back wall there is a round hole. If it serves no purpose, maybe it could be repaired. |
| Acoustics in the Parish Hall For many whose hearing has diminished since those teen years, the background sound in the parish hall when a larger group is present is such that many times the simplest conversations can't be heard or understood. There are panels that can be mounted on the parts of the walls that are concrete that will significantly improve the sound situation. There will be a request for donations to pay for these panels. |
| Heating in the library. As you know, there is a heater on the wall up by the ceiling. This heater works by radiating heat and not so much by warming the air. It has two major drawbacks: 1. It heats those who are closest a lot more than those who are farther away. 2. It uses atrocious quantities of electricity. Some work had been done to discover a more effective, more efficient alternative. There will be a request for anyone who knows anything to help discover the appropriate, best heater and also for volunteers to install it and hook it up. In addition there will be a request for donations to pay for the heater. |
| Table noise Attach felt pads to the bottoms of table legs. |
| In the Nave: Because there was a leak in the heating system, some of the floor tiles have curled and become unglued. This is in the rear corner of the nave on the side closest to the parish hall. Someone might like to work on the repair of the floor. |
