4 | OHCC LIVING | MARCH 2025 | Continued from previous page our needs changed. We will continue to evaluate enhancements to the structure which will better accommodate its users. You may recall that the Board approved the purchase of a used storage trailer for the SERT club to store emergency supplies and readiness equipment. Up to $13,000 was authorized to acquire the trailer and adapt it to SERT's use. We are pleased to say that rst, SERT was able to purchase a brand-new trailer instead of a used one, and second, it has now been completely outtted. Rather than $13,000, their good work completed the task for under $12,000.
