providing utility service. This issue has now been resolved. The
property hosts two other occupants that were also affected by the delay.
Our neighborly friends are another nonprofit organization and a self
storage company. The self storage site should be fully operational
within the next 30 days.

Construction will begin soon after receiving the permits. Building
construction is likely to take three months, then club volunteers will
begin the finish out of the interior (installing wall boards, painting,
tiling, etc). Finishing the interior of the facility depends on the help
we get from club members, and we hope many of you will pitch in. We're
now working to get costs for interior materials and fixtures and are
planning on stock piling these materials as we find good prices.

hold title to the facility with a long term financial obligation for the
remaining construction cost (donations will be applied to cover as much
of the construction cost as possible).

We've created a Building Project Web page to keep you informed. Check
out the building information and the incredible 3D drawings, then start
thinking about how you can help out and get involved. The club needs
you!
