Relics and Rubbish

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Rev. Dr. Hartmut Kramer-Mills

We had an event of a different kind on January 7, when our Fundraising Team hosted an Antiques’ Appraisal in fellowship hall. Joseph Bodnar and colleague Allen had come to introduce us to the auctioneer’s profession and to offer opportunity to have heirlooms and other antiques appraised. It was an Antiques Roadshow of sorts and turned out to be highly educating. In fact, there was so much suspense in the room that I did not even offer a church tour! We still had a table with church artifacts displayed. Please see the pictures. Continue reading →

Who might this event appeal to, you ask? Anyone who is a fan of American Pickers, Antiques Roadshow, Storage Wars, Auction Kings, Cash & Cari, or Picker Sisters. And, anyone who believes it is possible to buy a $5 painting at a garage sale only to find an original Picasso beneath the grime!

Status of Construction

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Rev. Dr. Hartmut Kramer-Mills

The construction is moving forward very well. The dumpster and several contractor cars in the driveway have been a persistent problem, though. We arranged with the parking authority that three specific cars of volunteer staff can park free in the Wolfson Deck. In addition, Architect Margaret Westfield has banned all contractor cars from the driveway. However, the information does not reach everybody. On one morning, there were five different cars of workers and contractors successively parked in front of the dumpster. I approached only two and was quickly tired of the game. Continue reading →

Town Clock Community Development Corporation Update

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Rev. Susan Kramer-Mills

The progress with the re-design project of our Town Clock Community Development Corporation has moved a bit slower this month. There were several meetings, but they were more of internal importance. We received support from the real estate developers: Bergen County’s United Way together with the Madeline Corporation, allowing us to move forward with architectural plans. And we narrowed our program provider pool to Women Aware. Their statistics proved that there were enough single women domestic violence victims in the year of 2011 to fill six efficiency apartments. Finally, Pastor Susan is supervising Jaime Johnson, a student at the Rutgers School of Social Work. His focus is on the development of nonprofit boards. Continue reading →
