Our Future
As the CJL house and 104West! facilities have supported community growth over the past 50+ years, the buildings have required repairs big and small. In the coming years, the buildings are due for a large renovation and there is much work to do. We ask that you partner with us and help restore our dear home and dining hall to its former glorified state.
