COMMUNITY DANCE PROJECT-2010
We are working on a project to raise funds for the
ELECTRICAL UPGRADE (by Richard Parker)
The electrical upgrade has begun. The ceiling in the basement has been removed as the first part of the construction. Rod Hurtado had a large crew to help with this and we are very pleased with this start and it was completed in a day and ½. The dance floor seems to be on top of 2x4's over subfloor and then over 2x12 floor joists. Our existing wiring goes through the 2x4's and not the 2x12's and if it presents a problem, that is for the electrician's to work out. Our electrical contractor did another walkthrough to view this. We will receive what should be the final changes in the engineer's plans and will submit these changes to Colorado Historic for approval. If approved, these plans will be taken to the city for the building permit. Please pardon the mess while we complete this project.
SHOE ISSUES
We have noticed hundreds of small holes in the dance floor. These are mostly likely the result of high heel shoes that have missing or worn-out heel tips. Please make sure you check and maintain your shoes. It costs $3000 - $4000 every time we have the floor refinished.
NEW CHAIRS—WELL, NEW TO US (by Dan Beck)
We found an individual who had 1,200 chairs for sale that probably came from a hotel. Thanks to William Murakami and Max we now have 300 of them at the Turnverein at a cost of about $4.25. Although used, they look much better and are a significant improvement over our folding chairs, and should last us for quite some time. The Board will be disposing of most of the folding chairs, so if your organization or a member needs some of these, please contact a Board member or Max.
