408 E 5th – Work dates and groundbreaking ceremony

Posted on by hchh-admin

We can use around 25 volunteers on Saturday, May 4, for building walls and erecting. We need experienced carpenters as well as persons who can assist by carrying material and help with lifting. Appropriate clothing for these jobs is recommended. Bring gloves, hammer, tape measure, pencil, nail pouch, etc. We will find tasks for all who come. I will be calling for skilled lead persons to direct certain tasks.


Also, at 10:00am on the 4th we will have a formal groundbreaking ceremony. Even if you can’t come to work, we hope you’ll join us for this special time of celebration!


On Saturday, May 18, we could use about 10-12 individuals for more carpentry tasks. Work on both dates will commence at 8:00 am and conclude about 2:00 or 3:00 pm, depending on how many volunteers participate.
