APOffice when it's moved. Matt? Kristen? rkw? Mitch?? Anyone
else?

hi catherio et brothers
When are you planning to move things around? I might be back from
helping my Dad in Florida by then, and can come down to advise and
help. I can't do much heavy lifting.
Anything involved with the press shop, has to be moved carefully,
slowly, and NOT dropped. Including the flat packages and the baby
press. They can easily be broken, and are very hard to replace or
repair. Some of it is quite HEAVY. Assume everything is, until
you're sure.
The baby press has to be lifted by four people, by it's four legs.
underneath the baby press. One person to each leg.
DO NOT lift it by the wooden shelf, or the back of the press.
You can hurt people doing it wrong, beside breaking the press.
The baby press is usually moved slowly and carefully on the red metal
cart, or the large flat bed cart. Be careful, it can slid off a
cart.
* The flat packages are definitely needed. The contents are worth
about a $1000.00. It be easier for me, if they stayed under the long
thin table where they are now. But if you have to, it's OK to move
the flat packages to the top of the wooden shelves where the drop
posters are. I hope to incorporate them into the press shop this
Spring.
* The "stationery" shelves (they hold invitation card and envelope
stock) have been there a long time. It been OK for decades for them
to be where they are.
I don't see a place in the back APOffice, where the invitation stock
shelves can be moved. Beside having convenient access. Anyone has
any thoughts on a location? Those shelves were purposely brought to
hold this stock, so it wouldn't be more than two boxes deep.
Note that the radiators under all the windows have to be easily
accessible for service and emergencies. And a corridor has to be
maintained along the windows in back.
* The baby press is in the front APOffice, because it's taken to
Activity Midways, and Service Fairs 4 or 5 times a year. It's safer
to leave it out there.
I am midway through building a special stand on wheels for the baby
press.. So it never has to be lifted again, and can easily be wheeled
to midways and fairs. Until then the baby press needs to be stored on
top of a table or desk. They are all currently in the front APOffice.
* The press shop has a bottom filing cabinet drawer, near the
Treasurer's desk in the front APOffice. It's been culled a few times
to keep it to just one drawer. I'm not aware of any other press shop
stuff in the front APOffice.

Subject: Printshop objects in the front office?
Hi printshop,
rhkeeler and I are planning a cleanout of the front office. We certainly
won't mess with any of the printshop setup in the back office, so don't worry
about that. However, we notice there are a few objects in the front office
that appear to belong to the printshop, which we have a few questions about.
- There are many flat packages labeled "printshop" under the table by the
food cabinet. Can these move to the back office at all, if we made space for
them (for example, by moving out some of the old drop posters?), or are they
not needed at all?
- There's a bookshelf full of what appears to be stationery, right near the
entrance to the back office. Does that have to stay where it is?
- Are there any restrictions on where and how the baby press (currently
sitting on top of a table) can be stored?
- Is there any other printshop stuff in the front office we should be aware
of?
Thanks,
- catherio
