Whenever we talk about an access- ibility project, most people probably think of a ramp to get into the building. Compton Cares IS about the construction of a ramp in addition to the interior renovations that gave us accessible restrooms and the bonus of a new kitchenette. Last week, the new iron railings for the ramps were installed. The project is almost complete. A landscaper will add dirt to the planter boxes, and a little more finish work is needed outside and inside.
The top view is from the Grand Boulevard sidewalk looking south, toward our commer- cial neighbor, Jack in the Box. This view is from the south side, looking toward our yard and garden that borders Flora Place. Hardy, sun-loving perennials will populate this front planter box. We are taking suggestions from all of you gardeners out there.
The new plaza at the top of the ramp has a sturdy railing that can prevent falls and roll- aways. Next up: a plan to give the sanctuary front doors a fresh coat of paint, and to add a sign that will identify our building to passerby as a church, since it is sometimes lost in the visual "noise" of our commercial surroundings. Soon we will have a dedication and a major fundraising project will be unveiled later this week.
