It is about time for an update on the Community Center. We are scheduled for a grand opening of February 27th at 3 pm. It has been a whirlwind time of remodeling. The carpenter/contractors George Snodgrass and Dean Hotchkiss have been amazing. Our electrician has met many obstacles and persevered through, Jesse Anderson building our counters and desk, many volunteers working anywhere from a few hours to days have been invaluable. And to Art Grobben the overseer, fill-in worker, plumber and electrical assistant, and …… go-fer to Spokane and beyond it would never even be a reality without his over seeing the project and spurring everyone on.
The computers are due to arrive and be installed the end of January. Volunteers are in place to open the center at least 3 to 4 days a week. More volunteers are welcome to take more hours, other days or be on call for filling in. The Community Connections Center is open only as volunteers are available to man it. The Center will house 15 computers with wireless internet available for use free of charge. Secretarial work will be available to the community for a nominal fee, i.e. fax, copies, brochure/letterhead/flyer/business cards, creating business letters and letters of communication.
A separate building will be available for rental at a nominal fee. A laptop, screen and projector will be available for meetings, movies, games, etc. We are hoping to fence the back yard and landscape for outdoor events this next spring and summer. An outdoor courtyard will be available with wireless accessibility for those who just wish to sit with their laptops and hook up. More ideas are in store if funds become available. Stop in and see what it looks like! See you there! If you are interested in volunteering your time please call Sandi Everson 732-8847 or e-mail ncprboard@yahoo.com.
