June 2022
AMP is now less than three weeks away from our June 18 opening. The projects to complete, big and small, have pushed everyone to the limit but no one is complaining. Jamie from Scope has been heading the construction team, along with Tony and Mike from Vision Electric and all the Action Air guys. Their goal is to finish the upstairs education program room in time for our summer kids’ programs. Herbert’s crew from Premier, having just finished the floors in that space, will be spending the first days of June sanding and putting the finish on all the platform flooring.
As for our AMP staff, they have been working overtime to ready the mill for the opening. Abigail, the newest member of our crew, has been preparing for every possible scenario that relates to welcoming people into the space. Along with Ben, we have an all-star duo out in front. Amy, Shari, Sarah, Mimi, Ruthie, and Justin have been everywhere doing everything while Michelle finishes plans for a full summer of kids’ programs at AMP.
For all of us, this is the moment to celebrate and thank everyone who has worked with us on the building and the mural installation, all the volunteers who have given their time to help us, and people all over the country who have donated to our appeals. Without you, there would be no opening.
