Our New Home - week 10
Joe Brady
Editor
Let’s hope there is only one more
week to go! The lights are going up
and the murals have been framed.
Now the tedious part, which is
the trim work, painting, cleaning.
We are as excited as our readers
to be in the new office. A custom
furniture builder is constructing a
personalized conference table so we
can hold interviews, meetings, and
maybe even a reception or two in
the conference room. We are still
shooting for Thanksgiving!
