Join the Grand Lodge in repairing DC’s public schools on April 26!
On Saturday, April 26, 2008, Hands on DC will hold a one-day Work-a-thon. More than 2,000 volunteers will spend the day working to create a better learning environment at one of about 30 DC public schools. Projects are available for every skill level and typically include painting, cleaning, and landscaping.
This year, the Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia is sponsoring Hands on DC’s 2008 Work-a-thon by generously donating $10,000 to this event. However, sponsorship is only one phase of the project. True success lies in volunteer participation; our goal is to build a team of over 100 volunteers.
Sign up now as a volunteer for this one-day service project by visiting the link located in the Members Only section of the Grand Lodge website.
Please encourage family and friends to come out for one day to refurbish the District’s public schools, get some exercise, and witness an excellent example DC Freemasonry in action.
Once you join the team, you will receive periodic updates via e-mail that will provide additional instructions regarding the day’s schedule, reporting times, school assignments, and metro/parking instructions. The day usually begins around 8:00 A.M.; breaks for lunch around Noon, and work/clean up conclude around 3:30 P.M. A reception is held for volunteers later that evening. Lunch will be provided by the Grand Lodge.
Recommended dress for the Work-a-thon should be “work” clothes such as sturdy and comfortable shoes, jeans or long pants, and so on. Work gloves and 2008 Work-a-thon t-shirts will be provided to all volunteers at no cost.
Please sign up today to join your fellow Brothers, family and friends in this important endeavor.
For any questions, please contact Brother Dustin Rawlins at Rawlins@dcgrandlodge.org
