News from NESA! 
Hello to the NESA Community! While our Fall 2024 season is well underway, we wanted to email you today with program news as well as an important update on our renovations.

While we are excited to be back open again, we are still working on completing some additional improvements within the building, including painting and select flooring replacement.

During NESA's year-long closure, the work completed focused on essential structural renovations. The painting and flooring enhancements, which are primarily funded by NESA, had to be scheduled in phases, after the structural work was complete. We started the painting work over the summer, but due to delays in receiving the flooring materials, we are only now able to move forward with the next phase.

To minimize disruption to our current programs, we’ve decided to wait until the Fall 2024 season concludes before starting the next phase of renovations. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the building's partial completion, but our priority was to reopen and offer programs while continuing to improve our space.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete these final touches. The building may not look perfect right now, but we’re confident it will soon be in excellent shape. Thank you for your continued support!
A note about your NESA Account and Program/Activity E-mail Notifications: We have confirmed with the software developers of the registration program NESA uses that there is currently a glitch within the system. This glitch has resulted in some members not receiving reminders/email notifications about the start date of their NESA programs. We hope the developers will have this resolved soon but for the interim, please ensure to login to your NESA Account and review your invoice(s) to confirm the start date and time of your program(s) or call us at 780-496-6969 to confirm your enrollment history.
