The Renovation Continues…………….
The renovation of the Class Room and Art Room at Milano Center,
which is generously funded by the FRIENDS of Milano, will start up
again in the near future. We want to give you an early heads up that
sometime soon the demolition and reconstruction will make these rooms unavailable for 3
weeks . We are hoping for sometime in July/August, but not sure that is feasible. We
apologize in advance for any noise or disruption in your visit during these 3 weeks…..but
we assure you, the result will be well worth it. Thank you for your understanding.
