June 1

With so much going on in the world, one has to look at the positive.

We are now rezoned. This is really happening. What was the pipe dream of three artists and a handy napkin-note taker who happened upon them (that's me!) one year ago is swiftly becoming reality. We've traded red tape for measuring tapes - and Sunday - the RiVA board of directors laid out a timeline and a vision. The marathon meeting (which conveniently concluded with dinner prepared by a pretty pianist)allowed us to establish a date where temporary renters (four members of the board) will move in and begin paying rent to RiVA.

This week we will be calling plumbers, electricians and energy auditors. We intend to do all of the grunt work ourselves with the much-needed help from lovely volunteers in the community.

And we're off and running!!!
