🪟 Potter's House Update: Look at that gorgeous window! With thanks to the Mineral Point Lions Club for kicking off the project last year, and our Gala on the Green donors for keeping the momentum going, we're excited to share the update that restored windows are being installed. A number of you donated $250 towards a pane of glass in those windows. Potter's has unique 8 over 8 windows, and this large window features 18 panes—we couldn't have done it without you! Next up is new HVAC, some interior work, and in the spring we'll work on creating welcoming spaces in the surrounding gardens. This 1850's historic building will be an ideal workshop space for writing programs, a warming/cooling space for the nearby Blacksmith Barn, and during our busy retreat weekends. We can't wait to welcome you inside!
