HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS!
Pam and I wanted to give you all a quick update on the progress of CROSSROADS, formerly known as ARTISTIC BLENDS. We have finished all of the demolition on the building and are now in the process of completing the build up. Our new facility is going to be fantastic and we can't wait to share it with you.
Our theater area will consist of a 12 X 20 foot stage with a great sound system and seating at table for about 120 people. We will also have conversation areas in the front for around another 24. An exciting addition will be a large area for moms or dads and their babies. Pamela is leading the way in the decore so you know it will be beautiful and I am working hard to make sure that the coffee bar will be first class.
We are already doing all of the preliminary planning for a wide variety of exciting events for everyone. Some of the upcoming events will include great music, art exhibits, children's shows, plays, magic shows, comedy, seminars, poetry, independant film and much much more. The more we are able to grow and develop the more we will be doing.
Several of you have asked how you can help
so I have listed a couple of things for your consideration: 1. We have a large area of our drop down ceiling that needs repair.
2. We have to strip the concrete floors of all of the glue that is on it so that we can refinish them.
3. We need someone who is experienced with concrete staining.
4. We need someone who might be willing to help us build our coffee bar station.
5. Since this is completely a not for profit venture any donations of time or money or fixtures would be appreciated and tax credit given.
Cash Donations should be made out to Crossroads and mailed to:
Crossroads
C/O Kenneth Brown
4659 Snow Ridge Court
Fort Worth, Texas 76133
6. The current list of things needed is as follows:
30 coffeehouse style tables
130 coffeehouse style chairs
2 commercial airpot brewers
Various commercial quality soft chairs for conversation areas.
2 large flat screen moniters.
For more information on how you can be an active part of Crossroads please call Kenneth Brown at 817-269-5938.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND GOOD WISHES!
WE ARE WORKING HARD TO MAKE CROSSROADS A REALITY!
