Here is a rough sketch, both past and future, of what our move timeline may look like. This is our best guest scenario. As we all know, this type of project is hard to predict.

As a member based organization, your volunteer time will be invaluable in helping us stay on track. There will be opportunities to assist us throughout the moving process, so watch for sign up sheets. Please contact the board or our general manager if you have skills you think would help in our transition.
