We had an initial meeting this morning with Joe Huberty from Engberg Anderson about creating a magical space for our kids in the Uptown neighborhood and we're excited about getting started. I also met with the developer this week and we have a timeline that has us opening to the public closer to January 2024. Our federal funding is about $1.5 million, $750,000 for the space and $750,000 for the interior buildout, and we have some exciting additional funding opportunities we'll be pursuing to enhance the furnishing budget even further and hopefully even set up a Foundation fund to support the operating budget into the future. I'll keep you posted as we move forward and Brandi has started a section of for the website that will engage the public with the project, as well. Here's the link to our video announcement about the project that KABA helped us create.
This week's Bright Spot Nominations:
From Emily: "I'd like to nominate Debbie and Dina for Bright Spots this week for their amazing job cleaning up the breakroom at Southwest last night! It looks so much more organized, and they were even able to do something about that weird stain on one of the chairs. Great job Debbie and Dina!"
