The Little Shop
If you’ve been on campus you may have noticed that the space which houses Saint Philip’s book store, “The Little Shop” has changed a bit. It’s received a fresh coat of paint and been spruced up. This is part of a larger plan for the short/medium-range.
With the opening of Catalina Hills Preschool and Kindergarten on the north end of campus and the resumption of more in-person and hybrid gatherings, meeting space (with internet connection) is at a premium.
Over the past few months staff and volunteers have worked to identify a creative solution that will maintain The Little Shop while making its valuable space available for meetings. Here are some next steps:
Refresh the space and install tv screens so that the front room can be used for hybrid meetings.
Re-purpose the smaller room at the back of the space to house The Little Shop and accommodate its merchandise.
Provide certain staff members mobile card readers to process credit card transactions when the store is closed.
One thing we hope will remain the same: the generous presence of parishioner Leigh Wood who is a steadfast volunteer at The Little Shop.
As we look to the future, we invite you to share ideas and consider volunteering in the store.
