August Update
Since the last Newsletter in June, the Temple property acquisition committee has made significant progress towards the closing of the parish property. You may recall that from the time we signed a purchase agreement on May 18m, we had a timeline to meet certain deadlines. First was the final approval of the General Assembly to approve moving ahead with the purchase. Second, was the approval of the Metropolitan. These two hurdles were almost immediately met. The next few hurdles were approval of the bank loan, bank appraisal and the "due diligence" inspection period.
We are happy to report that the bank has approved the loan and completed their appraisal. Second, we are also happy to report that inspections have been completed and a final report compiled along with recommendations that will be forwarded to the Parish Council Executive Committee for review and action. While we had 120 days to complete this last step the committee accomplished this task in 90 days. Bravo!
Complete inspections were made of the overall structure, finishes, and utilities including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, and pest inspections and estimates provided for any work that will be needed.
The Due Diligence Inspection committee was led by George Roman, Mike Deverakis and Maria Artidiello and assisted by Stephen Buk, Dail Echevaria, Warren Baker, and Paul Lotakis. Executive Council representatives involved during the due diligence inspection period were Soula Mitropolis, John Grimanis and Terry Salamis. This crew has been ably led by Mike Hawkins, whose business acumen and attention to detail has successfully guided us through this complicated process. When you see these folks, please thank them for their hard work and most of all, pray for them and each other.
As the Lord wills, our next newsletter will report a closing date, which we anticipate will be around the 50th Gala Celebration on October 26t, 2026! Glory to God!
