New fl Disposable income is a precious commodity in these challenging economic times. Charities are strapped.

Many services and businesses have disappeared. Even though people may want to donate to a worthy cause, often times it just doesn’t fit into their tight budgets.

The current financial climate makes the story of the shining new gym floor at St. Mary’s Elementary School in Kenosha even more astounding. It took seven years, but the Athletic Association team, led by president John Lesnak, got the job done and a new wooden floor has been installed, just in time for the fall semester.

“During the last eight or nine years, the facility and tickets were sold for we knew we had to do something community members to come in about the floor,” admitted Lesnak. and watch the game between two Refinishing efforts stretched the bitter border rivals on the gridiron.

Nails began popping which fetched a nice profit at the up, which not only altered play but event. was a potential danger to participants. The west end of the floor had numerous dead spots. Basketball players would dribble and sometimes the ball just would not come up properly. Unlike the old Boston Garden where funds were readily available to put in new hardwood, this was a Catholic grade school in a largely middle class community.

“The money we raised from the Packer-Bear fundraiser goes right into the gym,” said Lesnak.

Concessions from other events in the facility added to the fundraising total as well. In short, the Athletic Association created multiple streams of revenue, even though some were modest.

Key players include past president The fundraising efforts began in On June 9, the happy day arrived.

“We are very proud of the fact that it didn’t cost the parish a dime,” revealed Lesnak. “We received funding from all parts of the community. It just makes you feel good that something like this can come together.”

According to church records, the original floor was laid in 1954, when the new church was built. The floor was wooden, which not all grade schools had at the time. The floor saw plenty of activity, but like any product purchased in a store, or home fixture which receives high usage, wear and tear began to take its toll.

“We felt very comfortable with them,” said Lesnak of the flooring company. “On August 1, the floor could be walked on. New carpeting on the stage and at the entrance is a part of the renovation, too.”

Local businesses which contributed to the effort are recognized on the gym walls.

“I still have about 50 left,” said Lesnak. “We are asking only $10 for them, so I hope to have these go quickly.”

The Athletic Association celebrated by having 300 replica gym If interested in a replica gym floors crafted. They are 3 inches by 6 floor, contact Lesnak at 262-942inches. Roughly 250 people own one 8482.

Adult basketball and volleyball groups, the school teams at the newly named All Saints Catholic School, and other civic events will do their thing on the new wooden floor.

“I personally would like to thank all of the volunteers,” said Lesnak.

“Without their unselfish volunteerism, there is absolutely no way we could have accomplished what we have accomplished. Things like this happen at the high school and college level, but it’s very rare when a fundraising effort like this happens

Work on the new gym floor took nearly two months.
