Constellation Cafe Grand Opening
It is with great
pleasure that we announce Constellation
Café
Virtual Dining
for Pleasure and Purpose
The Volunteer Center of
Durham invites you to attend a special benefit to
help celebrate an important program being launched
by our friends and colleagues Earl and Wanda
Boone, founders of Durham Together for Resilient
Youth (Durham TRY). Please see invitation
below. The Boones are
renovating the old Hartman's Steakhouse on Geer
Street and creating a wonderful place for children
and families to learn and grow and heal. The
program will include tutoring, enrichment
programs, mentoring, preschool and after school
programs, the Constellation Cafe and much, much
more. It's definitely
worthwhile to come learn about all the great
things the Boones have planned. From what I
understand, the old Hartman Steakhouse is a Durham
landmark and hotspot which has been vacant for
several years. The Boones are bringing it back to
life in an amazing way. In addition to the
Volunteer Center of Durham, the program has the
support of The Partnership for a Healthy Durham,
The Durham Center, The Durham County Health
Department, The City/County Violence Prevention
Committee and Starbuck's Coffee.

Update on ERMP Durham
Studio
|
|
Folks a great deal has
happened since I announced our acquisition of a
facility in Durham - our brick and mortar
effort.
The first place that was
offered to ERMP to use as a production office was
at 122 West Parrish Street in
Durham.
Plans and designs were
made to build in the space
ERMP went to Home Depot
and they said they would donate a large amount of
materials for our buildout efforts.
Once the owner saw the
plans, he realized that the space was too small
for what ERMP had in mind and what he had in mind
for the space.
The owner gave our space
at 122 West Parrish Street away to a book store
and arranged for a space at 124 West Parrish
Street for the ERMP production office. It is
2.5 times larger than the first space. Much
more room for a classroom setting.
The production office will
have the following elements: a classroom, tv
studio, offices, conference room, editing bays,
mail/copy room, restroom and mini
kitchen.
Through classes on various
subjects, ERMP should help offset the monthly rent
and hopefully garner some money into our
treasury.
Pictures are attached of
what the space looks like
currently.\
We now are waiting for new
plans and designs for the new space so we can get
material estimates to help us know what to ask for
from Home Depot and Lowes.
June 2007 will be a great
month!!!
