Work day status update: On schedule as planned. Rain is in the forecast, at or below 50% probability. We’ll work on what we can. Bathroom cleaning and organizing the stuff in the barn can continue if there’s rain.

This week’s priority jobs:
- Open the restrooms and clean them.
- Relocate piles of bricks, rocks, and soil.
- Install temporary covers over holes in the east wall of the barn.
- Go through the barn downstairs space to dispose of unwanted items, organize the rest.
- Remove the shelving downstairs in the barn on the east wall.

Please bring tools that could be useful for these jobs.

Overview:
Come and pitch in to spruce up the Strasburg Heritage Society’s Shroy House, barn, and grounds, to make our place something that we can be proud of! We ask the volunteers to suggest projects and solutions, and to help us to prioritize the projects that we work on next. This is a great opportunity to meet people and learn from them. It’s a chance to feel the satisfaction of being part of a group that is accomplishing something worthwhile. We’ll put the old saying into practice: “Many hands make light work!”

We’ll be holding Volunteer Work Days on every 2nd and 4th Saturday running through September. We’ll work from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and you’re welcome to come for as much time as you can manage. We’ll provide drinks, but please bring your lunch if you plan to stay for a while. We’ll try to hold the event rain or shine, but will be flexible if conditions (rain, heat, etc.) are extreme. Check back here for up to the minute decisions.
