2. Visit your local TWO MEN AND A TRUCK to purchase moving boxes and necessary packing supplies.
3. Start to clean out closets, extra meeting rooms and file cabinets.
4. Host a community sale or donate the unneeded items to charity.
5. Get change of address cards from your local post office.

7. This may be a great opportunity to update software or technology.

Additional facility requirements
