Windows to the Soul

Last weekend Helen helped host a fund raiser for our neighborhood church.  Although we are not members, we appreciate all they do for our community.  From hosting Potwin HOA meetings to hosting AA meetings ... they are terrific neighbors.  So, when they needed help raising money to restore their stained glass windows, Helen stepped up.
Stained and leaded glass needs to be restored every 75 years or so.  The lead breaks down and the weight of the glass can cause the window to buckle or in some instances, completely collapse.  Unfortunately, the restoration process is expensive.  In this case, the Potwin Presbyterian Church has 38 windows that need restoration.  In the spirit of putting our money where our mouth is, we bought a window restoration.  Here is Helen with "our" window.
Good job Helen.  
The Church, the neighborhood and art lovers everywhere appreciate your efforts.
