New addition to come on High Street
In a building adjacent to the CFGC office on High Street in Waynesburg, a newly renovated and equipped meeting room is now being offered as a capacity building space for businesses and organizations in the community.
For-profit businesses may also be allowed to use the meeting space for certain occasions.
“We really took on this space because we were running out of space, which made it difficult to bring in guests for board,” said Stammerjohn.
“We want to do seminars that might be able to work with professional advisors if they need continuing education credits,” said Stammerjohn. “We want to be able to do seminars for members of the public so they can be informed about charitable giving or being able to handle their own finances better.”
A podium and easels are provided as instructional or presentation tools, and an 60-inch Smart TV with HDMI hookups is also included.
The refurbishing of the meeting space began when the shop next door to the foundation closed its doors in early 2014.
Stammerjohn reasoned that using this adjoining area for expansion made more sense than searching for a brand new space. So, in May 2014, following the CFGC board approving the project, the landlord allowed the project to go forward.
The CFGC is planning on holding an open house in April to officially reveal the Foundation Room to Greene County.
“It can be a resource for local organizations if they don’t have a large meeting room,” said Stammerjohn. “It’s just easier for some organizations that don’t have large meeting space.”
To book the room for a seminar or meeting or to access the complete list of policies for its use, organizations can call the CFGC at (724) 627-2010 or email Stammerjohn at cfgcpa@gmail.com.
