Friends

I received a call today from Elizabeth Kellner, representing the current owners of 76 West 105th Street, to let us know that the closing date for the sale to the builder will take place on Monday, April 30. and that the builder will install a chain link fence between the properties on that day or very shortly thereafter.

This means that we will need to remove all of our items from 76 W 105th this weekend – including the compost structure, the stone bench, unassembled wheelbarrow, rainwater barrel, etc. Ideally we would also move the sculpture, although it is not clear whether we would be able to move that, and may have to talk to the builder about help and arrangements moving it.

I suggest a starting time around noon on Saturday. Some of the items will require four or more strong helpers.

In case we are unable to move everything on Saturday, we need to be prepared for a second work day on Sunday.

Since moving the items constitutes a major part of the proposed meeting agenda, we might need to consider holding the meeting tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday.

Robert
