here’s a completely different idea

Disadvantages:  not in Albion, increases driving time for most.   Hideous roof line, would need some work to orthodox’ize it.   Too expensive for us to do anything about right now ($400K). We’d have to get a fund pretty well advanced to afford the mortgage.

Advantages:  seems like the right size and has parking and handicap and classrooms and a hall, but the hall is only slightly larger than our current one.   Less money than the building-new option.  Everyone who drives from Hillsdale would love this.  🙂

Who could we get to buy those pews??
