Calendar

This is no April Fool! There will be a spring clean-up workday on Saturday April 1 to get the building and grounds in shape for Palm Sunday and Easter (April 9 & 16). We will be doing inside and outside work:

• raking on all sides of the building
• window washing
• vacuuming chairs
• outside sign cleaning and paint touch-up
• parking lot
• etc….

Another workday will not be scheduled until May if the weather doesn’t cooperate. If April 1 doesn’t work for you, you can pick a clean-up activity to do at another time. Just let someone on Trustees know. Rakes, trash sacks, rags, etc are available.
