The Leavenworth Road Association office has moved one door down within the same building, the highrise at 60th and Leavenworth Road.
The new office is on the same floor and same hallway as the old one.
The move Friday morning went so well, the move was complete in 30 to 45 minutes.
However, phone and Internet service connections needed to be moved, and are still unconnected as of Tuesday, with plans to connect them on Wednesday.
Because of a phone company central office mixup, the service technician went to install the LRA phone line in an apartment on the 10th floor of the building instead of the first floor. Luckily, no one was there on the 10th floor apartment at the time. Because it was 4 p.m. on a Friday, the tech could not begin with a reconnection and said he would return Monday morning.
No one showed up during that scheduled Monday time, however, so the LRA is still without phone and Internet connections. That situation is stressful at home, but it shuts down a business. After many phone calls, a new appointment was made and the LRA will await another service technician on Wednesday morning.
If they aren’t there, I told them I would be capable of going with another phone company.
In the meantime, I am working from home where I am able to check my messages.
In addition to the office move, the meeting location will change in January. The LRA board has voted to have the LRA membership meetings at 6 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month at Eisenhower Recreation Center, 2901 N. 72nd St., Kansas City, Kan. The meeting starts with a potluck dinner and a social time, followed by a program at 7 p.m. The next meeting will be Jan. 13.
Lou Braswell is the executive director of the Leavenworth Road Association.
