Prep, Type, Wish and Paint – Volunteer with Us

ever so carefullyThe following is a list of volunteer objectives for the coming months:

298 NORTHAMPTON STORE PREPARATION:
If you can help this Sunday, please just show up in clothes/boots ready to get dirty. We will plan out the layout of the store, PAINT, clean & “put things where they go” If we’re able to get some palette racking, we’ll be assembling those racks and loading them with lumber, toilets, and other inventory. 10am-4pm Sunday, October 28th.

WISHLIST (pre)COORDINATOR:
As many of you know, we maintain a wishlist for people seeking salvaged materials. It’s getting unruly. Ideally, the coordinator is someone who could maintain the wishlist and be a liasion for the store/Kevin/inventory and potential buyers–meaning you would have to contact wishers and let them know that material has become available. HOWEVER, right now, we just need 1-2 people to get the data under control. If you can do this and have a laptop with Excel and can meet with me (or Kevin) at the Irving office (in Allentown) next week–please email Caesandra with times you are available. I estimate this will be about 5hrs.

TEAM MEMBERS FOR CITY-WIDE H.S. MURALING PROJECT:
That’s the cumbersome working title, but it’s essentially a peace-mural board up event involving ALL the Buffalo high schools. It’s set to commence at the end of January to tie in with MLK events. Here’s the major hurdle–so far, none of us have children in high school or any involvement with the high schools–we need names and contact info of some key players–not just the Superintendent, but other people lower on the totem pole–like the Art or Social Studies teachers or PTA types.
Then, we will need people to start coordinating donations of boards, brushes, paint and publicity. Just like with ReART, we have to organize months in advance and December is too hectic with family and friends so we must start now.
If you want to be on this team or know/have specific details (a name without a telephone is more work for me), please email Caesandra directly or attend the meeting Friday Nov2 at 36 Irving 6:30pm

Thanks, hope to see-hear from you soon,
