To Our Neon Community

We accomplish this by leveraging our gifts and talents with one another with four guiding principles in mind: to educate, enlighten, encourage and empathize.

To that end, we only began to dive deeply into administering events and programming in the four short months we were open. We worked brightly to create a welcoming, inspiring environment for you to work in and will continue to do so when we re-open. 

I will admit, the first week of our shelter-in-place order, I felt lost and helpless.  The Neon wasn’t an essential business so in good faith, with the overall well-being of the community in mind, we closed. In one fell swoop, I lost my daily connection to you, the one thing that kept me going on a daily basis to grow and nurture this small business start-up. But wise words once said, when you don’t know what to do next for yourself, look around you and focus on being of service to others. Selfless acts fill the void inside with goodness so that time passes, strength builds and confidence follows once again.

Here we are in week two and I have found the way forward again thanks to being of service to my loved ones and my community last week. While I wait to re-open, we are taking this opportunity to streamline our business and educate ourselves as much as possible. 

I have reduced overhead costs by removing Cable TV in the Executive Conference Room and Kitchen. The TVs are smart TVs and we have fiber optic throughout so we will continue to have access to YouTube, Apple TV, Netflix, and other streaming programs. I have also removed two of the four hard phone lines formerly connected to the copy room fax machine and Executive Conference Room.  The only two hard lines in the building are connected to the front desk (mainline) and the elevator per State guidelines. I will continue to look for other ways to reduce overhead during closure in an effort to minimize costs and survive during this difficult time.
