FRIDAY, MAY 6, 2005, A BLUE BANNER DAY

With a couple of required changes, we can have our "temporary final" occupancy permit, which will enable us to occupy the premises on Sunday, May 15, as scheduled! The "final final" occupancy permit will be granted after the organ is fully installed and all associated construction activities have been completed, tentatively sometime in July 2005.
