IRGENT – Help needed at 8:30 AM for the Saturday workday
We have had difficulty finding someone to move the pallets of materials up to the courts. I have a friend who has a large backhoe who lives across the street. He is willing to help us tomorrow, but would like to start at 8:30.
We need 4 to 6 people and 4-6 crowbar/pry bars.
Please text me at 802–793–5316 immediately if you are able to help and let me know if you can bring any crowbar/pry bars

End of Season Maintenance Help Needed
We need to start some of the end of season maintenance stuff which includes: storing and winterizing the pump, moving in most of the furniture, cutting back the daylilies and gardens, and putting the plugs in the court sprinklers. 3 to 4 people should be able to accomplish this.
If you can help please email me directly at [email protected]. We will do this Saturday, October 8 at 2 PM. This is something that can be done even if there is light rain or snow showers.
