The building hosting MERCYs Center is on the market to be sold.

Our last official availability will be the end of August.

After 8/31/2006 we will be open as we can. The place could sell tomorrow or not for some time. We have to be prepared to move - which also makes the place presentable for showing - in either case.

We can use it til then, just can't promise or really schedule to be there.

It is doubtful the new owner will let us stay, much less as is, but we'll keep praying. Interested in a good-sized, multi-partitioned building on a high-traffic street in a prime location in Salem? contact -> Robby

When the center becomes unavailable we'll have to meet someplace public to assist non-cardholders get with the program as well as some place to privately exchange patient resources. Places such as parking lots and state parks - like in the bad old days.

To satisfy all the needs MERCYs Center used to fuilfill, we need Places -

- to generally Meet. Public, non-medicating, non-resource-exchanging. From Meet-Ups to Town Halls.

- to Exchange. With facilities for cardholders to be out of public view.
