Hello,
Duckies:
Spring is
here! Only a few weeks left until DIYC comes out of
hibernation!
Springtime
also means that we need to help our clubhouse and grounds
shake off the remnants of their winter snooze.
As mentioned
last year, we want to give the clubhouse a bit of a
facelift.
We are
scheduling TWO work weekends, one on April
1st/2nd and one on April
15th/16th to do so.
Renovation
supplies:
We are
trying to keep this make-over low-cost as other
maintenance/repair items have come up that have become
priorities for club spending.
I will
donate two gallons of flat interior paint, will provide
color and brand details in a separate email if someone else
wants to donate paint, which would be very appreciated.
Please
consider bringing/donating brushes, paint rollers, paint,
drop cloths, sand paper, etc. and cleaning supplies.

outdoor furniture from the clubhouse, move indoor furniture
