Lodge Construction Project
From Sekhet-Maat Lodge
Our Temple
|
In the summer of 2000 e.v., a bunch of us got together and turned a dilapidated old warehouse into the beautiful Temple you see now. It took us two months and we did everything but the electrical work ourselves. At that time, in Lion & Serpent 5, No. 3, Past Master Fr. Diapason described the beginning of the project:
- "The summer months a year ago saw us all working on NOTOCON. Well, it looks like this summer's acronym might be LOTOCON (Local OTO Construction project)... 'Cause no sooner had we passed the first year mark for the Portland Thelemic Community Center than we discovered it was time to move to a new facility. Undaunted, the search began, and in July a large, nearly 2000 sq. ft. space was leased. Great space, but rough on the edges. Consequently, it became obvious What We All Did the Summer of 2000. Even as I write, Brothers and Sisters are over at the new Center, cutting insulation, putting up drywall, climbing scaffolding, and just generally throwing mind and muscle into transforming it into a fully functional temple/classroom/office mega-space. It'll take a few weeks yet, of course, before that final coat of paint gets applied, all the temple gear gets moved out of storage, and we get back to a full schedule of local events; but, in the meantime, folks have been opening up their basements, backyards, and living rooms for occasional events (not to mention making sure to reserve a regular Tuesday night table at [Rose & Raindrop])."
