Kaleidoscope has had to make the hard decision to close. They will be gone by the end of August.
This is not only a huge loss for Ashley, the kids and families at Kaleidoscope, but a huge loss for us here at UUCS. Ashley and Kaleidoscope have done so much to promote knowledge about UU to families who have asked, and have encouraged them to come on Sunday to check UU out. Kaleidoscope has also been a tremendous help answering the door, accepting packages, meeting with or providing access to techs and repair persons as well as UU teams and meetings outside of our limited staffing hours – and during those times where both office staff were out. It will be difficult to cover and coordinate these things moving forward. It also means a sadly empty and locked building for much more of the time.
If you are on a team or in a group that meets at UUCS between 7am to 5pm during the week and have previously relied on the building being open/occupied by Kaleidoscope or UU staff then you will need to set up a time to fill out key code forms and train on unlocking, disarming and resecuring the building for your meeting times. If your meeting is during office hours we would still ask you to have someone come in to train, in case we have a situation where staff is out ill. – Emma Kreger, UUCS Office
