Venue details: First Unitarian Church - San Jose in San Jose metro area

Description
For over 100 years, the church building had served, not only as our spiritual home, but as a de facto community center. In the process of rebuilding from the fire, the church kept the needs of the larger community in mind. In 1998 the church founded the Third Street Community Center, a separate non-profit housed in the lower level of the building which has expanded and improved the non-sectarian community use of the building. The Third Street Community Center houses the Don Edwards Computer Learning Academy, an after-school program, and ESL classes serving low-income and immigrant neighbors. On September 23, 2001, exactly 110 years after the laying of the cornerstone, the church celebrated the completion of the re-building project with a large community celebration, returning the names of those who had helped in this effort as well as a brief history of the project to the cornerstone time capsule. In addition to the church and the Third St. Community Center, many other community groups have been eager to use the facility.
