   2.    We need to clean the outside of our building. We will need cleaners, bleach, rags, any kind of pressure cleaner, brushes, buckets.

   3.    The Windows will need to be cleaned outside, Windex or other window cleaner and lint free rags or paper towels.

   4.   The old carpet on the front stoop and the back (or side) needs to be scraped off, and the concrete cleaned.  Scrapers and some kind of cleaner for concrete.

   5.   Our new bench will need to be set into the ground. Need some concrete mix, wood scraps, bucket or wheelbarrow, post-hole digger. Location TBA.

Please let me know at marilynadmin@gmail.com which project you would like to be a part of, and what you can bring to facilitate.

There will be hot dogs and the fixen’s across the street available for you for lunch if you want. I will bring the cooler with cold water bottles.
