Volunteers Needed! Back Barn Restoration Project!

Volunteer help needed!

We are starting a big project in July – the restoration of the Back Barn at the Equestrian Center – and we are looking for volunteers to help with the rebuild.

Here are the details:

• Who: We need YOU! Bring a few friends, family members, your dog-walker, your sports teams, your dentist…you get the idea! As long as volunteers are over the age of 18, they can help with the project. We need 10 -12 volunteers per day; and will provide a lunch and beverages for volunteers.

• When: Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, starting on Wednesday, July 6 and running through Saturday August 27 (barring any unforeseen issues). Start time is 8:30 am, we break at noon for lunch, and we end the day at 4:30 pm.

• Why: The Equestrian Center impacts 140 full-time students, 40 TRAC clients with disabilities, 20 Centenary student instructors-in-training, and 30 community volunteers. Without the Back Barn - the Center’s “command post” - academic and community programs will be jeopardized. With the help of volunteers, a renovated barn will be complete in time for the Fall 2011 semester. 

• What else: A foreman from Morris Habitat for Humanity will lead volunteers each day. We will document the progress of the project through photographs that will be displayed on the Project’s Facebook page (Centenary College Back Barn Restoration Project). When the project is complete, all volunteers will be invited back for a ribbon cutting/thank you ceremony.

We need volunteers to sign up today – your help will make this project a success.
