Why did we select Stony Point?
Soon after we were notified that the current Darbe Mehr needed to be demolished prior to the construction of our new building we started looking for alternate locations, preferably as close to us as possible. We realised of course that whichever place we found would require a certain amount of adjustment and compromise when compared to our own place. But, that it would be for a temporary period. After researching various possibilities we found three places that would be acceptable.
The immediate first choice was the Pomona Middle School which is directly across that road from us. A few members visited the school and considered it ideal. We would rent 4 classrooms and the cafeteria space for the adults. (Sorry – no kitchen). This would cost $750.00 for 4 hours, but could go up to $825.00. Considering this high cost we decided to keep looking for something less expensive.
Next, directly off Exit 12 of Palisades Parkway, the Unitarian-Universalist Congregation.
A relatively modern looking facility which would meet our needs but also at $750.00.
Stony Point Church is an older facility which has a separate building which houses three classrooms. The church itself has a relatively large foyer and a large basement which has a recreation type area with many chairs and tables. Also includes a kitchen (nothing fancy though!) which we can use. The parking lot can accommodate 25 to 30 cars, but there is also street parking. The clincher was the cost – $300.00. Presuming on the outside we would need to rent for 18 months, it comes to spending $13,500.00 for the school, or $5,400 for Stony Point! So even though Stony Point is a bit “run down” we just couldn’t see ourselves spending $8,100 more. However our agreement with Stony Point is month to month so if anyone finds a better place, at of course a reasonable price, we can move at any time.
