Volunteers are needed! 1. Zack's Place needs a fresh coat of paint and we are looking for numerous volunteers to help with that. We are hoping that the Zack's Place families and friends can all be a part of these upcoming volunteer days. Saturday March 23nd and Sunday March 24th we will be painting all of the walls and trim at ZP. Bring your overalls, paint brushes, buckets and we will get the interior painted. There will be 4 four hour shifts and we could use up to 10 people per shift. Saturday from 9A-1PM and 1PM-5PM Sunday 9A-1PM 1PM-5PM. 2. Then comes the month of April and we can use about 12 volunteers on Saturday April 27th to wash windows, clean up gardens, put outdoor furniture in place, put away winter supplies and get ready for Spring. 3. Friday May 24th at 5PM and Sunday May 25 at 12N we need 5 volunteers to paint the floor of the art room. This date will give the room 3 days to dry before we come back to ZP. Sunday is for the second coat. |
