| | | Last month we successfully launched core broadcast operations and moved essential staff out of our temporary office space and back to 2601 Mariposa. This milestone marks two years since we relocated staff and broadcasting to allow for the much-needed building renovation. Our goal is to have substantially completed our renovation and be able to welcome people to our new home in the fall. We continue to be so grateful to those of you who have made this campaign a success through previous or recent gifts. There’s still time for you or your family to be recognized for your gift on our new entry lobby Community Tapestry Wall. Read more about the local artisan bringing our colorful vision to life at the link below. | | |
