Painters Needed -- Can You Help?

Good Morning All,

I met with the men's group at Hope Lutheran Church this past Saturday morning. They have agreed to act as estimators on materials, general contractor on the job of painting the mission, and teachers for those who want to learn to paint. They are also lining up potential scaffolding. They will be the sidewalk superintendents, and overseers of the work. Due to their average age and disabilities they are prevented from painting, climbing ladders, and climbing scaffolding. They are also attempting to line up volunteers for an onsite luncheon. CrossRoads Mission will provide donuts, rolls, and coffee for breakfast. This group has also made a significant donation to the mission to hire homeless folks who are physically fit to climb ladders and paint. The goal is to have the building painted in one day.

We are in need of healthy painters, either experienced or folks who want to learn how to paint a two-story cement block building. We also need the loan of 3 extension ladders, and approximately 4 step ladders. If you would like to volunteer, please call Becky at 365-0707 to get your name on the list.

What: Painting the exterior of CrossRoads Mission.
When: Saturday, May 15, 2010 (Backup/rain date is Saturday, May 29, 2010).
Time: Set up and begin at 8:00 a.m., and clean up to begin at 4:00 p.m. (Non-communion worship begins at 5:00 p.m. at CrossRoads).
Who: Anyone healthy enough to run a paint brush, paint roller, climb ladders, climb scaffolding, be an expert paint gofer on the ground, humorists willing to keep morale high, etc.

Yours in Christ,

Pat Kane, Executive Director
