April 2010 Service Schedule – PDF

While working on the Rotary’s meal dishes last week our 25+ year old dishwasher became temperamental, making unusual noises.  Our treasurer, Roger Habrle contacted the Hobart repairman and had the ‘patient’ examined.

It was determined that it could possibly be repaired with no guarantee of how long the repairs would last, at a cost of about $1,000.00.  Roger  used the internet to research pricing for a new unit.  He then consulted with several companies and found the best price for a new Hobart from C. Caprara at a cost of approximately $5,200.00  installed.  With Rotary meals and the Fiddlehead  supper coming right up, we need a reliable dishwasher.  Doing them by hand is not an option  If you would like to donate funds toward this purchase, please send a check with the reference ‘dishwasher fund’ in the corner.  Any help is much appreciated.

The vestry met on Sunday and approved
the purchase of a new dishwasher.
