Ready for Prime Time!

For those of you who have never seen "The V.C." (short for Village Center), this massive expanse of newly polished flooring is a wonder in and of itself. During the days the mine was in operation, the V.C. was called the Gym and was used for that purpose and for many other community activities. As a part of Holden Village, in the summer ("prime time") it serves as the worship center for all services and a concert venue, a meeting place for sessions, an activity center...whatever the need in the busy summer season, the V.C. is adequate for that need.

For those who have visited Holden often and know it well, it is a rare sight indeed to see this huge area completely clear of any object whatsoever. (I believe I am right in saying that the only object sitting on the floor is the organ/carillon off to one side.) It is an amazing sight to see it in this manner. The sight is made more amazing by the floor, newly varnished and polished to a mirror finish.

Such good things do not happen on their own. There was obviously much hard and difficult work involved in such a huge project. We owe our thanks and appreciation to Head Maverick, Daniel Roberts; Maverick, Nate Lee; former head Garbologist currently here in a volunteer position, Abbey Dibble; and our two high school boarding students, Inge Chiles and Andrew Dutcher.

Thanks! It is beautiful.
