Due to personal circumstances including recent health issues, we have decided to sell our home and land. We physically cannot manage the property anymore and although we have some incredible volunteers, Paul’s constraints due to his left below knee amputation prevent him from doing activities that he enjoys doing. Janette’s two knee replacements have caused her to have similar constraints. As a result of this, and by the unanimous vote of the Atchingtan Board of Directors, we have also decided to close down Atchingtan Learning Center Non Profit Organization. Any currently scheduled events will continue until the property sells.

The decision to sell up and move on was extremely difficult to make. A lot of time and energy has been put into building the space and thanks to many of you, and your love and support, we are proud to have accomplished a lot for our various communities in nearly 10 years. For People and Life was achieved. Over and over again. And we have wonderful memories. But it is time for us to move on. As for where we are going, that is yet to be determined, but we will let you all know as soon as we do. We might put out one last call for help to pack, and will let you know if we have any household items or outside equipment to sell.

We will be posting the property sale listing once our realtor has assessed and photographed it. Should anyone be interested in purchasing this turnkey land and very large home, please contact us.

We will miss all of you.

Sincerely yours

Paul and Janette Ferrise xxx
