Dear Friends,
May is Older Americans Month. Since 1963, communities across the nation have come together to recognize the contributions and achievements of older Americans. From my vantage point at the Senior Center, I see how involved seniors are in supporting their churches and other nonprofit organizations. Older adults contribute significantly to the vitality of every community in which they live.
At last! We have a signed purchase agreement on the Pottery Place Annex building. On behalf of RWAS, Board President Marcy Lundberg signed the agreement on April 10th. The closing date is set for May 31, 2012.
RWAS will purchase the building in collaboration with the Red Wing
Collectors Society Foundation. The building will be legally set up into two condominiums. We will purchase the eastern half (including Provensano’s Ristorante) and the Collectors will purchase the western half. The building has 26,220 square feet. Our two organizations will jointly own the center atrium with restrooms, roof, outside walls, mechanical units and parking lot to the median.
Is this a “done deal” as one member asked me? No. There are additional agreements to be written, contingencies to be met, a Common Interest Community to be developed, environment studies to be completed, and more.
I am certain that our members have additional questions that I cannot adequately address right now. Printed material and informational sessions will be available soon.
A huge thank you goes to our attorney Jack Strobel. Jack has provided his services at no cost to RWAS. The Board presented him and his wife Kay with a lifetime membership. From a legal and personal standpoint, he is doing all he can to protect our organization. I am so thankful.
As part of our lease arrangement with Fairview Red Wing, we are still obligated to provide valet parkers at the Medical Center and a greeter in the Cookie Jar. Please help. Valet parkers are especially needed right now. Working one 4-hour shift a month would help tremendously. Call the Senior Center to get started.
