Parish House Care and Feeding
Volunteer 
Our Parish House needs some TLC. We'd like to accomplish as much through volunteers rather than contracting (read: paying) for the repairs. Are you willing to take on a project? Review the list below and contact Susan Givens to sign up. Ideally, we'd like to have projects completed within a month. 

1) Trim boxwood shrubs.
2) Weed beds along side and back of house. 
3) Reset bed edging.
4) Build platform for trash can area.
5) Spray weeds in driveway and on walkway. 
6) Paint foyer. 
7) Inventory and straighten bookshelf. 
8) Clean dryer venting. 

Thanks for anything you can do!
