Kilmer Center - AYSO/AYCO

Last week AYSO moved its main rehearsal space from the cafeteria to the Kilmer Center because the space being used as a voting station. Despite having a room reservation in writing for that night, we had no alternative but to move to the Kilmer Center; we were never informed of the change and only discovered this upon arrival to set up the space at 5:00 p.m. We will use the Killmer Center again on Tuesday (Nov. 13) for AYCO because our reservation for the Lecture Hall is trumped by district testing that evening. We appreciate your understanding and realize that it involves a longer walk for musicians as well as our own Operations team.
