Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent The Senior Citizen Sunshine Club of Vegreville Centre has recently made some exterior improvements and upgrades where a part of this involved the reconditioning and repainting of the sign in front of the centre done by Vegreville Visual Artists (VVA) Society members-Leora Johnston from Andrew and Lois Bienvenue from Vegreville. Leora Johnston said the Sunshine Club asked if VVA would like to collaborate with them to recondition their front
sign. Leora and Lois had the previous sign taken down and removed and they spent eight hours sanding it at Lois’s garage. Then Leora took it home to her garage in Andrew and puttied it, filled in the cracks, and sanded it down. There was two months worth of priming, sanding, painting, and then they used four coats of sealant so it would weather well after it was all finished. When it was finished they painted the legs to match the rest of it and then they reconditioned those parts. Treasurer for Sunshine Club,
Don Harfield said other exterior improvements and upgrades the club had done to the centre were landscaping with the removal of overgrown Cedar trees and Juniper bushes which blocked the view of the front entry area. They also improved the roof drainage by changing the eavestroughing and added more downpipes and replaced the rear entry door to improve accessibility, and security. As well, they replaced the outdoor lights around the building.
