Thank you to everyone who turned up on Saturday morning to help us move in to the new building. It was truly a family affair and gives new meaning to the phrase “it take a village”

As one of you pointed out, it was just like a barn raising!

Thank you everyone

Stop by the Warm Springs campus over the next few days to witness the progress. Apparently, the building will take shape very quickly over the next week.

The excavation work continues, but we are still on track!
