We have two work parties scheduled for the coming days. On Saturday the 27th, the space will be open from 1-3 (maybe longer) to do some final painting. On Tuesday the 30thwe will have the space open from 5-8pm. We are in the final stages of painting and we really need the help – this is an important hurdle to cross so we can move on to the next stage – having the floor professionally cleaned and prepped for painting.

All materials are lovingly provided!

There is so much painting to do thanks to the good work of our builder, Roger Pray, that we are hoping for at least 5 people to attend a painting work party Wed June 17, from 5-8pm.

We really need to keep the progress moving ahead and we need your help. If you can help, please email Anita Randall at dbrakr@cox.net
