Project Legacy Update
October 2011
All along the mantra has been “You have to believe to achieve;” and, we have achieved out dream. We officially moved into our new School/Administration building the end of August. Right now we are operating on a temporary Certificate of Occupancy because there are still some issues with the City of Fullerton. We have passed all of the safety issues, but it seems that we did a much better job of landscaping than the Landscape Architect drew out for us when we submitted plans to the City. We are in the process of having him come out again and redraw the plans according to our current plants and to make sure that all we have planted are correct vegetation for our climate. We are still not completely finished with the Project. There are still some areas that still need work which we are still in process of, such as library book shelving, a few more security features on the outside, etc.
Our Religious School officially opened on the 10th of September and the feedback is that both our teachers and students are happy in their new space. We also hosted the OC Yiddish Festival on the 18th of September and thanks to Ann Nanes and her committee, we had approximately 700 people on site to view our new campus! If you haven’t been on site yet, please come by to check it out. You will be very pleasantly surprised! We plan on coming “home” to TBT on Yom Kipper afternoon for the Yizkor and N’eilah Services. Parking will not be a problem.
Again thanks to all of you “believers” for your support and patience. Our best wishes for a very Happy and Healthy New Year. L’shana Tova.
