One would think with a pandemic, a derecho, and the Wieting being closed since March of 2020, there would be nothing to report. Much has been going on behind the scenes.
Our biggest challenge was how to pay our ongoing expenses such as rent, utilities, insurance, fire alarm contract, interest on the loan, etc. with no income.

The Wieting was awarded seven new grants.
