Hello All,
It’s gratefully springtime again and almost time for our Cluster Workday! This year the workday will be on Saturday April 16 from 9 – 12. The rain date will be Sunday the 17th. Please mark it on your calendars and come on out!
We’ll meet at the marina for a Cluster provided breakfast at 9:00 and then break to work on projects. Then we’ll all come back at 12 to bask in the glory of having gotten things done and share some lunch. The Cluster will provide hot dogs and buns with the fixings as well as drinks. We ask that anyone who would like to join for lunch, please bring a dish to share – dessert, salad, side dish – whatever you can dream up or whatever your specialty may be!
Here are this year’s projects and the tools needed for each one. We’re looking for a volunteer to lead up each of these projects. Please reach out to me if you’d like to take one on: karenewilkens@yahoo.com or 703-929-5465.
