Dear Friends ~

 

Hopefully by now you've heard that Athletic Director Girimonte and Principal Chaidez have set aside this Saturday, February 6th at 9am as a volunteer opportunity to clean and hang banners at Dixon High School.  We need your help!  Please let me know if you can spare any time and help with this project.  I believe we have banners that date back to the late 60's!  I understand that Mr. Girimonte checked to see if the older banners could be dry-cleaned, but unfortunately they can't.  So, we will need to organize the banners, clean them and hang them.  In order to complete this project, we need the following items donated or brought with you - again, please reply to me and let me know if you can help, or donate an item to the effort - if you label your item, I'll make sure it's returned to you:

 

  • Lint brushes (hoping this will help remove old dust/cobwebs)

  • Clean cloths (that we can dampen to help wipe some of the old dust/cobwebs off)

  • Irons (we need 2 more people to bring an iron and ironing board)

  • Skill saw (we need 1 more person to bring a skill saw and be responsible for operating it)

  • Tables (we need a few portable tables that we can use to organize banners, prep banners for hanging, and to operate the skill saws - unless the people bringing the skill saws have some sort of setup already for the skill saw)

  • 2-4 small buckets

  • garbage bags

  • scissors

  • may have forgotten something - not sure at this point! Will let you know if I think of it! 

We are asking that small children not come with you.  If you have older children (9 and up) who want to help, can follow directions and stay by your side - then they're welcome to attend as long as you maintain responsibility for them.  We can't have kids running around and goofing off - we all know this, but it's important the kids understand what's expected of them.  Thanks for your understanding.  Remember, all individuals volunteering will be required to sign a waiver.  Lastly, if you know of someone who's willing to help and I've missed them on this email, please feel free to forward to them. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you!

Best,
Kim
