Brad, thanks for the reply! I took it out of the screened in area earlier this year and inflated the tires and rode it around the block. The shifting is pretty stiff (likely from lack of maintenance), but everything moves/works as expected, although i report i did not shift through all of the gears. I suppose that means i should replace the cables. I can add that to the budget! After some more reading, it is probably safest if i replace the brake pads as well.
