Let's Get Down to Business

Today, the real work began at the Benton House. Lindsey's group spent the majority of the day prepping their work area for a fresh coat of paint a few other, special touches. Katie's group worked tirelessly emptying the building of years of built-up clutter, reorganizing rooms and opening up spaces to work. Jordan's group worked closely with Mark to come up with a direction for graphics, including a logo and its application to a wall in the building's entryway.

Tomorrow, we will continue work in the Benton House. Primer will be applied to the entryway, a final logo will be chosen and our volunteers will have the opportunity to interact with area senior citizens. After work, we are planning to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo!
