On January 8, 2011, The Friends of Old Borough Hall launched a "Raise the Roof" Fundraiser Campaign at Keya Graves Seafood and Steak. THANK YOU to everyone who helped.  Despite the snow, it was a lot of fun and we raised over $500. It is a start.

Why a Metal Roof? Metal roof panels are lighter, more durable, and the panels can be recycled. This is the profile of the panels (Grandrib3) being considered
