Over the summer our House Maintenance Chair Charlie Ridolfi organized and oversaw several substantial improvement projects for the Chapter House, all of which were made possible by donations from Zeta Chapter alumni.

Some work still remains to be done, but the house already looks much better than it did last year. Here’s a summary of what was completed, what’s in progress, and what is to come, along with some before and after pix.

After all work is completed, we will have spent about $76,000.
