The MAKEOVER for<br />
suite 115 has begun!<br />
Weitzman’s crew is demoing<br />
the back area beside the large<br />
conference room which will<br />
become the “laundry” room.<br />
They have constructed an<br />
encased passageway from the<br />
laundry room to the processing<br />
area without any charge to us.<br />
This opening will allow us<br />
access to the laundry room<br />
from the processing area<br />
without having to go around and<br />
through the conference room<br />
interrupting meetings along the<br />
way.<br />
Carol Will located a good used<br />
dishwasher for the space. She<br />
and Donna Provence,<br />
Relocation Project Manager,<br />
visited with Walmart Manager,<br />
Richard Donnelly, who will be<br />
donating a washer and dryer<br />
to ALGA! Yes, you read that<br />
correctly!! Having these<br />
appliances will greatly enhance<br />
the everyday work performed<br />
by our volunteer processors. No<br />
more laundry to take home!<br />
All new HVAC equipment will<br />
be arriving soon. It will take only<br />
two or three days for Weitzman<br />
to install the new units once<br />
they arrive.<br />
Weitzman will also get off our<br />
hands only a few pieces of<br />
furniture left by the former<br />
tenant which we won’t be<br />
repurposing or reusing for our<br />
benefit. A majority of everything<br />
left behind will be put to good<br />
use – a 12’ foot conference<br />
table and chairs, desks, book<br />
cases, filing cabinets, 3-way<br />
dressing mirror, display cases,<br />
shelves, etc.<br />
Shirley Williams and Joanne<br />
Harrah volunteered to take<br />
charge of getting bids for the<br />
move. They have given all<br />
possible bid winners a tour of<br />
both suites and they’ve already<br />
received a couple responses<br />
and are waiting on a couple<br />
more.<br />
Six volunteers are needed to<br />
direct traffic at suite 115 on<br />
moving day. If you are<br />
interested, please contact<br />
Shirley Williams at<br />

512-819-1504 for more<br />
information.<br />
Hats off to Nick Danese! Nick<br />
has worked many hours<br />
reconstructing one of the large<br />
shelving areas in the back to<br />
accommodate clothing. He also<br />
built shelves and installed<br />
dowels along a portion of the<br />
north wall. Nick’s wife, Diane,<br />
and Linda and Bill Hansen gave<br />
him a hand. Kudos!<br />
Target move-in date?<br />
Weitzman remains optimistic<br />
about turning the new suite<br />
over to us on April 1st!<br />
So stay tuned for more!<br />
Respectfully,<br />
Joan Mason & Donna Provence
