Work day status update: On schedule as planned.

This week’s priority jobs:
This week's work list includes:

• Smoothing and seeding grass where out pile of sticks & branches used to be (we made real progress last time by eliminating the huge brush pile!).

• Fill in and seed low spots throughout the yard.

• Finish spreading / evening the wood chips that were placed around the big holly tree.

• Scrape and prime sections of fencing that go in front of the Shroy House.

As of 8/16, the forecast shows 25-50% chance of rain. Check our here for updates to our plans as we get closer to Work Day Saturday.

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.
