Chancellor Street Preschool meeting with Sue and Carolyn; now asking questions of WMUMC that are being responded to and addressed. CSP will let us know decision by this Friday (Jan. 17) which church they will use. Would start in June with a 12 month contract at $1000/mo and hopefully stay permanently. They would paint and make space their own, add value to church and also be more money than Impact.

Will need to change from fuse box to circuit breaker at Moosetrap.
