12 Aug - Condemned

Good afternoon,
This morning the city code inspector condemned our office and shop so that we are no longer able to conduct operations.  Volunteers and customers will no longer be allowed in, and we have about 4 weeks to vacate the premises.  This puts greater urgency on our relocation activity.  I've called our landlords at the Sabreton School to let them know the increased urgency of our plight, but have yet to hear back from them.  This doesn't mean that there is nothing to do, in fact we need volunteer help more now than ever to clear out the old shop and move everything down to the warehouse.  Then on Sunday Aug 22, starting at 1pm we'll have a work party to prepare the new space.  If you can help with time, a vehicle for hauling or anything else we might need pre-event (like coordinating volunteers, publicity, etc) call the shop and we'll be glad to show you what we need.
Thank you,
Nick

Update:  17 Aug
Because Grand Central Station has gone into bankruptcy and there is no buyer for the building, it appears that the bank will forclose - probably in a little over 30 days.  That is how much time we have to prepare and move into our new location, all the while keeping up our busy Fall activity schedule.  We need volunteers for this weekend to help get the new place ready.  Call the shop if you can help.
