SAT, NOV 3: NEIGHBOR to NEIGHBOR
JCC will participate in this ecumenical volunteer program which connects volunteers and resources with people who need help to make their homes safe, warm, and dry. This one-day volunteer initiative provides free repairs and weatherization to people of the Mount Washington Valley who need it. This can be vitally important as we prepare for New England’s harsh winter. You can help:
- Referrals for neighbors who need work completed in our community
- Volunteers to help complete different jobs. You may serve in Jackson or in a community nearby.
- Please email JCC with any referrals or your interest in participating. JCC will provide a liaison to coordinate our referrals & job crews with the team leaders based at Nativity Lutheran in No Conway, NH.
Volunteer Opportunity
PLANING & OILING of LEGACY PAVILION
Daily through Nov 2 (Weather Permitting) • Jackson Grammar School
From Susan Ross-Parent at Jackson Grammar School: “We’ll be oiling, if the weather agrees, on Sunday, Oct. 21 and any days after that. It doesn’t take much to set folks up to oil, so they can contact me here ahead of time and they can work during the school day or after. Oiling involves a roller and messy oil. We have gloves and the tools. Helpers should wear clothing they may never want to wear again! We will also need help with planing – that can start this week and run through next. Again, if your volunteers let me know when they can come, I will make sure the planer and sawhorses are set up and a tutor in place for starters. Email Susan Ross-Parent. Or call the school 603-383-6861.”
Note from Jon: “We have been working on Saturdays since the school year began in hopes of raising the structure November 2. If weather cooperates we should be in good shape. Curtis is in charge of the raising portion, and we are getting all our ducks in a row. We will be putting the bents together the days preceding Nov. 2.”
