VOLUNTEER SIGNUP FORM
Maintenance Projects
Volunteers Needed!
Please take a look at this list, and consider if you might be able to volunteer or contribute in some other way towards a particular project. Our community consists of members with all sorts of skills, and we could use the expertise and talents of our residents to help us accomplish these projects!
​
We are also looking for a few project "leads" to help ensure that our event is as productive as possible, and could likely use some assistance with picking up materials. Please also feel free to just "show up" on Fix-It Day itself, as we'll surely be able to use your help!
To volunteer for a particular project, or if you have any other questions or ideas, please use the form on this page to contact our Maintenance Trustee.
Once again, we greatly appreciate the support and teamwork of our many volunteers who keep our community beautiful and safe year-round, and hope that you will be able to join us!
