2021 Annual Meeting
Buildings & Grounds Committee Annual Report


BUILDING AND GROUNDS COMMITTEE 2020-2021

What a year.
During the pandemic, while Zoom events have kept us all intimately connected, our MVHC building has been minimally used. We perform regular maintenance and repairs and are preparing for the return to in-person services and activities.

As a community, we all should anticipate that we have upcoming expenses to replace our 25-year-old roof, shingling, as well as some windows and doors. This work provides an opportunity for us to consider renovations and improvements to better serve our needs. Some considerations include expanding the Social Hall, redesigning our deck, updating bathrooms, reconfiguring storage, upgrading HVAC, installing Solar, improving handicap access, sprucing up the kitchen.
Our committee is ready to move forward on ideas for improving our beloved building, the heart of our Jewish community on Martha’s Vineyard. Join us to share ideas and seek consensus about how to design and build for our future.

​Respectfully submitted,
BeeBee Horowitz
