Welcome to Santa Fe

Check in Time is 2 p.m.

Check out is 12 noon

The Guest Apartment is immediately to your right, just inside the glassed in portal. The guest key* also unlocks the portal door. Parking is limited in front of the Meetinghouse, but free parking is available on Escondido Street, ½ block away (west, closer to Paseo de Peralta). Please avoid parking in the Meetinghouse driveway, and please be careful to close and latch the entrance gate as you come and go.

Resident Friend: If you need to get in touch with the resident during your stay, you may call Peg at 983-7241 and leave a message. She lives in the adobe cottage in the garden. If you cannot contact her and need to speak with someone else in the Meeting, you may call Ann Anthony at 955-1959

Gas Heater: To adjust the heat, turn the large tan dial that faces the wall. If you are in front of the heater, turn the tan dial counter-clockwise until the heater is high enough. Clockwise turns the heater lower and off. Avoid turning the red knob or small tan knob that sits on top of the element—they may turn off the pilot light. The pilot light always remains on, but should it go out it can be relit at the side.

Linens: You will find clean linens on the beds and extras are in the plastic tubs stored on shelves above the bathtub. Additional blankets are kept in the chest by the couch.

Telephone: The phone number for the guest apartment phone is 505-983-1980. There is a second line which may be used for dial up internet connection if needed.

Flashlight: The rechargeable flashlight (in the kitchen, near the door) switches on when the plug prongs are tucked into the handle.

Carbon Monoxide Detector: The small white box with the red LED display is a carbon monoxide detector.

Outside Lights: Outside light switches are under a protected metal flap just outside the portal door nest to the circuit breaker box. The left one is for the guest apartment door. The right one is for the Meetinghouse gate.

Garden and Meetinghouse: Our garden is here for you to enjoy. If you want to do any “holy work”, let the resident know and she may provide some ideas. Feel free to ask the resident to tour the Meetinghouse, see Olive Rush’s paintings or make use of the library.

Buster, the resident Border Collie is both gentle and deaf, and poses no threat to guests. Thank you for keeping the gate closed, on his behalf.

On weekdays there are several groups who use the Meetinghouse and garden, and we ask that you respect their privacy.

There are two varieties of picture note cards in the portal for your purchase. You may leave payment in the adjacent jar or envelope.

First Day Meeting: You are invited and welcome to attend worship services at the Meetinghouse on First Day at 9 and 11 a.m. A small group also meets to sing at 10 in the garden, weather permitting, or first day school room.

Care of Guest Apartment:

• We ask that you avoid smoking on the property, and do not bring pets with you into the apartment. Some Friends are sensitive to fragrances, so we also ask that you avoid use of strong fragrances while you are here.

• Before you leave, please put all your trash in a bag, tie it, and place it in the garbage cans behind the garage.

• Check out time for guests is 12 noon. When your stay is over, please leave the guest apartment as clean and orderly as you found it. Clean all dishes as you would want to find them, and sweep the floor. Leave all dirty linens in the basket for the resident to pick up. As you check out, please lock the apartment and the portal door, place the key in the envelope and drop it off with the resident or under her “watch frog” at her front door.

• We welcome comments and suggestions from you, our guest. You may leave your donation in the small wooden box on the desk as you leave. Contribute as you feel led. We suggest a minimum of $40 per night with $10 per night per additional persons, to cover expenses and utilities, but we welcome additional donations as we continue to make improvements to our facility. Checks may be made out to Santa Fe Friends Meeting. Thank you for your gifts.

We hope you enjoy your stay in Santa Fe!

Peg Martin, Resident Friend

*P. S. You may notice there is no key enclosed in this envelope. The key now needs to be obtained from the resident who lives in the garden cottage, follow the path out back. If she is not at home, there will be directions regarding the key attached to her door.
