KTC Drive-Through Construction Celebration!

September 19, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am

It’s been 4 ½ years since the Columbus KTC suffered a devastating fire and lost its little wooden church near downtown Columbus. Now, after months of planning and fundraising, KTC is overjoyed to be starting construction on our new center at the corner of Rich and Grubb streets in East Franklinton. 

 

To mark the start of construction and thank all our friends, we’re having a celebration of gift-giving and fellowship -all  in a safe and socially-distanced way. 

 

 Our unique “drive-through” celebration will invite revelers to drive their cars in a circumambulation path around the construction site – driving south on Grubb Street, turning right on Sullivant Avenue, then turning right into the alley (named Pennington Alley)  that runs behind the center.. 

 

Folks can then reduce speed and gently roll to a stop, so volunteers from the gift tent (conveniently placed at the south end of our parking lot) can present unique and special gifts. 

 

Celebrants also will have a chance to get their picture taken with a “Dharma at Work” construction sign – and of course, donate to the Rebuilding Fund if they are so moved!

 

IMPORTANT! MASKS MUST BE WORN in order to receive your gifts. Please drive slowly and carefully in the alley so our volunteers can get to you safely. 

 

Our KTC leadership team and lama team also will be on hand to wave at a safe social distance and bless passers-by with chanted mantras as they drive by. 

 

We’ve all worked hard as a community; this celebration will be a chance to look back at what’s been accomplished and look forward to our New Home to come!

There is no registration required for this event.
