Folks

 

The FUUSM Volunteer Work Day is fast approaching.  All hands on deck.

 

Proposed projects for Saturday work party at FUUSM -  Sept 14th starting at
9 am

 

We will tackle projects as weather, time, and number of volunteers permit.

shoes/boots, and perhaps dust masks.   If you can, please bring a tool or
two you think will help with the projects below that you would like to work
on.   Suggested tools and supplies listed.  Put your name on any tools so
they don't get lost.

 

We don't have to get it all done in one day.   We will be scheduling more

repair projects that volunteers can tackle.
