Moving Day still happening despite EPIC floods…

Attention Everyone:

Moving day will still be happening this afternoon at 4pm, we will just be moving a lot less stuff, since the majority of our possessions were evacuated yesterday from the basement, Titanic-style.

We DO still need to move…

-The BIG desk
-The fish tank
-Any other remaining large furniture you want to keep.

Please show up at 4 to lend a buff and helping hand. It shouldn’t take very long at all…less than 30 minutes if we don’t fool around. After that, the old Key will be closed for the day due to cracking and flooding in the basement.

The MEGA Moving Day – Saturday, Sept. 25, 4:00pm

This coming Saturday (Sept. 25th) at 4:00pm, we are MOVING out of the old Key. Cory has been nice enough to volunteer his truck as transportation for all of the large objects, so we really need to take advantage of this time. EVERYONE IS MORE THAN WELCOME AND STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to come help out with this process. Remember, the sooner stuff gets moved, the sooner we can inhabit the lovely new building!!! It might even be wise to show up BEFORE 4, just so we can have some large boxes ready to go. This is quite possibly our only opportunity to move the big furniture that we want to take (desk, couches, etc), so whatever we want to bring must get brought this day. Make sense?

*Also, if anyone wants to bring a camera for posterity’s sake, please do so. After Saturday, the old Key, which has been home to so many people for 15 years, will be empty and lonely. We should probably document these dying days =(

This is old but important

Book Club = RAGING SUCCESS


Book Club is currently reading Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison. So far, we’ve met twice to discuss this engaging and controversial book…but it’s not too late to join!! For next time, read through Chapter 13. If you haven’t started yet, be not discouraged, because it is a very quick read and you will catch up in no time.

*Book Club meets every Monday at 5:00 at the (old) Key. ALL ARE WELCOME!!

Cooking Class: Chicken

Today, Danny Dobrow taught another delicious class based around the absolutely groovy (as I like to call it) chickens donated to us by one of our adult board members, Derek Haars (thanks buddy). Along with the fried chicken, we made gravy and dumplings, corn bread and some of the largest apple pies I have ever encountered.

Art Night

Kellen and I helped make some sun jars at the Key. We used solar LED lights from some cheap lawn ornaments and put them in Ball jars. Good times were had, and rooms were dimly lit. Art Night is every Thursday at 5:00. Keep checking to see what will be happ’nin’ next week. (I’m thinking tiny terrariums.)

Cooking Class from the Past

On Thursday, Danny Dobrow taught the gang some more fantastic recipes to stash under our belt. The Pad Thai was great and the wontons were gone before you could say “Luang Phibunsongkhram.”

Art Night

Art Project is back after a teeny, tiny hiatus, and an itty, bitty switch-a-roo.

Join Kellen and Marie on Monday at 5:00 to decorate antique skeleton keys! We will be sending these to kind humans that have donated to the Key.

Then, on Thursday, come on down to make a birdhouse. Hopefully Kellen and I will have all of the lumber cut, all you need to do is come down, assemble the house, and paint! Everything will be provided and (as always) will be free.

I think they'll look like this... we'll see what Kellen has to say about that.
