Why now?

[loracs]

We just got word last week that "they" (the powers that be above us in the Recreation Dept.) are pulling one of our key people out of our center to go elsewhere. He is one of 2 drama specialist (the only 2) for the entire city. No matter when this would happen it would be a blow to us, but now is possibly the worst timing in the world. We have to move our entire program to a new temporary facility while our current building is undergoing major rehab. This will take approx. 2 years and we are scheduled to be out of here by March 31. Gerald, the drama guy, has been taking the lead on sorting, packing and preparing the drama dept. – this includes at least a 1000 plus costumes, accessories, stage furniture, lights, flats, sound equipment – everything. In addition, he has been working with a couple of other departments helping them refine plans and gather information that the architects need so they can finish the blueprints. All of this is very, very important if we want to come back to a building that will really, truly fit our needs. Proper ventilation, water access, flooring requirements, lighting needs, power needs – and the list goes on.


None of this makes sense.
