Donaldson Room Project – July 3rd Update

We are coming down the home stretch of the work in the Library.

The new Aides desk has been delivered, the painting and carpeting have been completed. All of the computers have been reconnected in the Lab and elsewhere and the new 85″ TV has been installed and is working in the Donaldson Room.

We’ve reconfigured the research space and almost every table now has access to electricity. There are a ton of supplies that have to be put back where they belong yet but we’ll get it done. There is almost nothing on the walls but we are starting that project Friday before the Monday, July 8th reopening at noon.

We are going to wait to celebrate the completion of the project until the Open House (October 29th) when Jean Donaldson will be with us so we can thank her publicly for the donation that started this.

My thanks go to Mike Blachut, Project Leader, the operating team of Pat Tomaro, Chris Palmer, Sandy Enkey, Christa Minogue, and of course Lou, all of CEC (but especially Rich Sporski and Ed Crabbe), our contractors Tom Albrecht and Floors ‘n Mor and especially our team from the Apostolic Faith Center who moved ALL our stuff at least twice and in many cases, three or four times in the last month.

Have a great holiday week – Happy Fourth of July!

Any questions about the project should be directed to Mike Blachut (480-823-8480) or me (626-589-1303).
