To All Members:
Because the structure of Future Directions was built into a hillside, half of the first floor is underground. That side where the parking lot is has poor irrigation, leading to water dripping down the back wall of the arts & crafts room, men’s bathroom, and television lounge. While this has been a known issue, the effect has recently worsened, causing water to seep into the electrical outlets and the ceiling wiring on that wall.
The property owner, Eden Inc., is aware of the problem and is working on a permanent solution to the issue. That means a major excavation digging out the entire back of the building to install waterproofing measures and improve the drainage. However, this project will take some time to develop. We currently have no start date nor timetable for completion.
As such, the first-floor power must be turned off when it is raining, which eliminates two-thirds of our programming. Therefore, until further notice, Future Directions will be closed on days when it rains in the morning or forecast to rain in the afternoon. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but the safety of our members is our number one priority and, for now, this is our safest option.
Sincerely,
-J.J. Commisso, Executive Director
