We have a storage unit for materials for our classes and groups. It is at Airtight Self Storage /3356 Ironbound Road/ Williamsburg. The entry code is 6023# (pound) 6023*(star). After entering the gate, go straight until the end of the building, and then turn right, it is the last door on the right to enter the building (It is building G). We are the first storage unit on the left (113) once you go into the building. To get in the unit, the lockÕs code is 6023, then you press on the top of the lock for it to open. You may leave your supplies in there as neatly as possible. Connie is purchasing shelves for us to use & Hannah is helping to coordinate the organization in the unit once the shelves are in.
