Yeah.

I I wanted to get that on the record.
0:24:02
I understand.
0:24:03
That said, with what you have available right now on that space, is it possible to do some type of additional community programming?
0:24:13
Southeast Queens is always looking for a community center, some kind of intergenerational place where our old can grow with the young and vice versa.
0:24:23
Is there any way or or are there any thoughts around doing something like that in this space with the church?
Tyrone Butler
0:24:29
Talking about the new space or the existing?
Adrienne Adams
0:24:30
The new space.
Tyrone Butler
0:24:32
We certainly are open to community partnership.
0:24:35
That was one of the discussions we had that we want to be able to make the space available for community groups, other CBOs, community based organizations, the school if possible for any programs that they would have, that's certainly our desire because again we desire to expand our outreach and touch all parts of the community that we can.
