To all team captains and league executives:

Please forward to your teammates or league members this message and others which may follow.

We have finally received a possible (probable) opening date which is Nov. 1. It could be sooner if everything goes according to plan.

Just a few details: some work has been done. The tiles have been removed for a second time (over 2000 of them) and the drywall has been cut and replaced. It now has to be painted.

Time line: the last of the tiles were removed yesterday and the  person in charge told us that the cement in the settee and other areas needed two weeks to dry completely before the tiling could be done properly.

This would bring us to October 3.

Then they would do all the flooring, including carpets and that would take two weeks, give or take. That should be done by October 16.

After that, everything should fall into place.

The plumbing, the electrical, the cabinets and counters, retrieving the goods and equipment from storage and putting back the center in working order.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Do not let my delays worry you. I just want to make sure that the information I send is accurate.

If anyone who should receive these emails is not getting them, just let me know via e-mail.
