Wilson, NC – Thank you to all of the people that donated throughout the year and special thanks to those who donated in the room auction. We raised over $3,000 from it, which went to help pay for the much needed roof repairs. There were a few rooms that were not auctioned off, so they are up for bid this upcoming Founders.
Over the span of the last three years, there have been a number of major renovations done to the house. This is including repairing the HVAC, repaving the driveway, fixing the water damage to the roof, sheetrock work to the ceilings, interior painting for the house, fixing the porch and rebuilding the floors in the hallways and kitchen at a total estimated cost of $23,100. These renovations have been provided through the generous donations of our alumni, alumni board finances, and the fundraising efforts of the active chapter. On several occasions, the house was at serious risk of condemnation, without the ability to make the repairs necessary to pass city inspection. But once again, we were able to pull through. We’ve made additional improvements to the house by including technology in a way to modernize and adapt to today’s world. We have streaming services like Hulu and Netflix, X-Box for brothers and recruits, security camera and smart lights.
