We are getting settled in our new offices at Maryland Avenue. We have room to spread out and we’re putting away the files and supplies. There are a few glitches we must work out. Our phone system was not programmed properly so if you called the main number and no one answered it was transferred to a man’s voice mail box in Westchester County, New York. No doubt a surprise for him but it is now fixed.
Our copier prints (black & white and color!) but doesn’t scan yet (another programming error) and one new filing cabinet is locked with no key (key is on order) so we can’t fill it yet.
The biggest issue is that right before the move the air conditioner went out. It is an older unit and replacing it was not part of the office renovation. We thought it was working but unfortunately it is not. We have many fans going, we take breaks and go downstairs (which feels very cold to me now) and are getting by pretty well. A big thanks to Dan Rosenthal who stepped up to manage the bids for the new air conditioner.
The new building-use protocols are posted on the website and shown below. These are designed to get us through the summer with the added restrictions of the construction. The biggest change is that we have increased the number of people that can attend Shabbat morning services and no longer require that you arrive at 9:30. We are able to do with a greeter in the lobby through the entire service. The greeter gets to see everyone, welcome them to the building and still hear the entire service through the speakers in the lobby. If you would like to volunteer, please contact Micki Kingsley (314-727-1747, michele_kingsley@yahoo.com) as she is coordinating the schedule.
For parking, we can use the Pierre Laclede Center lot (enter from Maryland Ave) from 6PM on Friday through 10PM Sunday. We have parking tags for your dashboard available on the website, at the greeters table in the lobby, in the office and here:
