WEST Weekly
Clean Up Day – TOMORROW!
We are planning several big projects this year and trying to organize our efforts to maximize effectiveness. The two main priorities are The Back Wall of the Pool - we need to clear the area, rake & shovel away the dirt, and lay cinder blocks to build a small retaining wall. As time allows, we will begin demo on the siding that is rotten and will be replaced on Sunday. The Front Curb - we will be jackhammering the concrete in both walkways that have started eroding in front of the building. We will be prepping the area for new concrete to be poured and finished by professionals.
We will work in 2 x 4 hour shifts. We have some shovels and rakes, but will need people to bring wheelbarrows and a few extra tools (please just clearly MARK anything you bring with your name).
Anyone signing up to volunteer must have experience doing manual labor and using hand tools.
Job Sign-Ups are available by clicking here. These hours WILL count towards your Service Hour requirement.
