A note from the president ...
As many of you know, we had hoped to be near completion of the Wilson Performing Arts Center sometime during the fall of 2007. After months of evaluating various architectural and construction issues, we are pleased to finally be moving forward with the project. The Wilson Performing Arts Center will become a reality.

	E. Concrete
		In areas where roofing is completed, we are currently trying to dry out the subgrade to allow for underfloor rough-ins and the pouring of concrete floors.
		Currently, we anticipate concrete floors starting within the next 2 weeks.
		As additional areas get weather tight, we’ll continue working on drying the subgrade in those areas as well.
	F. E.I.F.S.
		Pending weather and completion of roofing and some brick in the related areas, E.I.F.S. should get started the latter part of the month.
	G. Electrical
		The electrician will continue with rough-ins above and below grade
	H. Mechanical
		The mechanical subcontractor will be working on rough-ins above and below grade as well

IV. Summary
	Barring many weather delays, we expect the building to be nearly 100% weather tight at the roof by the end of July. Each month we’re getting additional subcontractors on site as work progresses. July will be no different. It will be a busy month.
