Bob,
I
think this is great......great work on finding a potential new
home.

Today I visited the SPU
campus and met with Judy Bruce, the person who handles facility rentals. I was
very favorably impressed with what she showed me.
Here's a
description of the facility...
It's a large classroom
adjacent to an even larger space that I would describe as a "common area", all
contained within one large building. There are a couple of smaller
offices off to the side. Some of the features include:
- -Movable tables and chairs in both the classroom and the common area.
The classroom will hold forty-plus people easily, and we would be able to
use the common area for auctions. Both areas are brightly lit and
cheerful.
- -The classroom comes with a pull down screen, window shades and a
built-in computer and projector for Powerpoint presentations. The computer
is connected to the internet.
- -Judy has to get a final OK on storing our cabinet, but she didn't think
it would be a problem.
- -The building opens onto a circular courtyard,and the courtyard is
accessible via wide outdoor stairways
- no worse than the stairway at the aquarium. There is a wheelchair
lift that rides up the stairs, if needed (advance notice required). There's
even a loading area and ramp for bringing in auction stuff.
- - We can have food there, and there is a convenience store located a few
yards away that sells food, coffee etc.
- -Judy assured me that there is ample free parking in the evenings. The
parking is close to the building.
- -The cost for renting is $75.00/month.
This is a really
nice modern campus. They have a security force. The campus is easy to get to
from I-5 and 99. There are plenty of signs directing you to the campus.
Judy is extremely friendly and helpful.
I strongly encourage anyone and
everyone on this list, especially current board members, to visit the campus
and check this facility out before any final decisions are made. Judy
would be glad to make any necessary arrangements for a member to view the
facility at their convenience either morning, afternoon or evening. Her
telephone number is (206) 281-2058; email jbruce@spu.edu, her office is in
building #29 on the map (the address is 3220 6th Ave. West).
The
name of the building where we would meet is called Weter Hall, #28 on the
map. The parking is the area marked 45 on the map.

Any
questions/comments?
Just as a personal note....I really really like
this place!
