The Building Committee has suggested that we maintain a Blog of the progress of the new Fellowship Building while it is under construction to provide open and clear communications.
The vote to build was unanimous! The new Fellowship Building project is off and running. Watch here for updates on * packing up the old building * items from the old building for sale * a party on July 1 to say goodbye to the old FB * a groundbreaking event (late summer)
In an effort to reuse and recycle as much as we can from the old Fellowship Building, we are giving you the opportunity to purchase a piece of our history.
A catalog of items for sale was sent by email to the church community. If you have not received this information, please contact Susie Macrae (susiemac@charter.net).
Be sure to submit your best offer to susiemac@charter.net by midnight on June 22. What hasn't sold will be available for purchase at our farewell party on June 23.
Your participation helps in so many ways. Thanks. Susie Macrae, for the Building for Fellowship Campaign
Farewell to the old Fellowship Building Event TUESDAY, June 23, 5:00-7:00 pm
Come and enjoy some fellowship as we say goodbye to the old Fellowship Building. Eat, drink, be merry, and .... leave with a box to store during construction.
Flowers, bushes and ground cover from the old Fellowship Building.... Anyone is interested in making a donation for some irises, vinca, pachysandra or rhododendron from in front of the old FB should contact Susie Macrae.
We're making great progress on emptying the FB thanks to lots of volunteers!
To date: kitchen items boxed up kitchen counters and cabinets removed (today, by Glen, Jim, David, Eric) and moved to classrooms until moved out (Glen says to be sure to check out the termite damage in the shell of the kitchen. Cary and Susie -- a "must see" on the 23rd). RE items are being packed piano moved out this morning Evergreen moved out on Monday
Still to do: RE items finished - Wed 6/17 leftover items packed - probably Sat morning 6/20. David and Cheryl to determine how much is left after RE's done packing on Wednesday boxes to parishioner's homes - by Tue 6/23's "Farewell" container delivered by Mon 6/22 large items to container - date tbd (David) kitchen counters moved out of building to storage - date tbd (Eric/David) salvageable items taken out - date tbd (Eric)
FINAL DEADLINE: Building ready to turn over on Tue 6/30. We're in good shape.
If we can get the storage container delivered this Friday, I'll try to get a group together to start moving the furniture into it this Saturday (since Cheryl reminded me that Sunday is father's day). We will also try to move the cabinets out of the building on Saturday as well.
I'm hoping that it will work to set this coming Saturday morning as a time to get some of the salvagable items out of the FB. So far there has only been one request - but I believe we'll want to recover some of the other items that haven't yet been spoken for such as newer light fixtures, good bulletin boards, etc. We're hoping to involve people who want to help our church become a "Green Sanctuary", as this is a recycling/reuse effort and a great way to begin a larger scale involvement of people in that overall endeavor.
If anyone knows of a reason why we can't be in the building this Saturday morning at 9am - taking down some lighting and bulletin boards (obviously not in the main hall but elsewhere), please let me know.
Be sure to attend the Annual Meeting of the Harvard UU Church on June 7, 2009, when we have the final VOTE TO BUILD the new Fellowship Building.
