The Steeps!

After returning to Saratoga, I became involved with a fantastic group dedicated to a really fantastic cause. The Steeplechasers are a group of people, all around our age, who live in the Saratoga area. The goal of the group is to help raise awareness and donations for the Universal Preservation Hall.

For those of you familiar with Saratoga, the UPH is the old Baptist (also Methodist at one point) church on Washington Street; it is the brick one that once looked like a strong wind might topple it. This is the architect's rendering of where we are headed:



Once the restoration is completed, UPH will be a community arts focused space available to everyone. It will be used for theatrical events, musical performances, art exhibitions, weddings and other parties or functions...
I won't go on and on here, but suffice it to say, it is a spectacular and unique venture. You can learn lots more on the site.

The Steeps are a great group of people that I have really enjoyed getting to meet. A group of us went out to dinner last night after our meeting and Tim was able to come along so he had the chance to meet many of them as well.
I made mention of having this blog at dinner last night which means two things:
I was asked for the address so some could read it, so, HI STEEPS!
Two, crap, now I really do have to post occassionally or they will all know that I am a slacker, not just Gram and Aunt Bev!
