Council 202 Saves St John's Parish over $2,700 in Garage Repairs

The Bishop Minihan Council 202 repaired the garage at St. John the Baptist Parish in Haverhill, MA last September 2009. Seven council members participated in the project for a total of 113 hours. The garage required replacing 24 feet of building sill, 50 feet of T- 111 on the bottom, scrape the building, repair the garage door and paint the building. The council spent a little over $300.00 and received over $400.00 in donations. The total cost if done by a contractor would have cost at least $3036.00 and the council saved the parish approximately $2723.00. The council raised $200.00 of the council’s cost by conducting a Religious Trivial night at St. John the Baptist Parish.
