HOLIDAY GIFT SHOP 2008 December 5th-13th Looking for crafters An event to give local crafters an outlet for their talents. It is also
a unique boutique for local residents to do some holiday shopping. Our goal is to provide this
balance as a community experience. A portion of the sales supports the
community center and its many positive opportunities. This year marks WSCC’s 30th Anniversary & many special events are
planned. For Holiday Shop information call Francine at 412-871-5491 or send an email to wsccholidayshopgmail.com. click here for more information and forms |

Thanks to everyone who came and made our 2nd annual Ecofest such a big success! Big plans are already afoot for next year! Furnace Update As most of you now know our furnace was "Red Tagged" last month and shut down due to a cracked heat exchanger. Elk Heating has begun the long and dirty process of installing new furnaces in each of the rooms. We believe that this is the best long term solution to suit our needs. Though a very expensive endeavor, in the long run we will save a lot of money by being able to heat only the rooms with the added savings of high efficiency furnaces.. We are very sorry about the cold and the inconveniences that you have had to put up with and thank you for bearing with us through this renovation. And that leads us to... Keep a look out for more information on our Spring fund raiser. We are grateful for the support that you have shown us in the past with other major renovations (Raise the Roof 2006) and are counting on your continued support as we make necessary repairs to our great building.
