Thank you for your interest in helping Emerson UU with its 59th house for Rebuilding Together Houston! Following is the notice with all of the information on the project. If you can attend one or both Saturdays, please be sure to sign-up following the instructions below. We are light on volunteers at the moment so if you have a friend who would like to come along, the more the merrier. Even 2 hours will help out since we have a lot of painting to do!

Time to strap on your tool belts .. Emerson UU’s 59th Rebuilding Together Houston project is almost here and our house has been assigned! There are many ways to help and you don’t have to be a master carpenter to make a big difference! I have attached pictures of the house and of our mighty crew chief, Leo Vandermeulen. Can you tell how excited he looks about this house!

Sign Up: http://rebuildinghouston.force.com/volunteers/CrewList

Select the Emerson UU Crew, complete the intake form and then select the day(s) you wish to work. Even if you already signed up in the Gathering Place at church, we still need you to do this step. If you have any issues signing up, please contact Jane at jm.zachritz@gmail.com.

Dates: Saturdays of October 20th and 27th (either day or both) – Rain or Shine!

Times: 8:00 am – 4:00 pm (partial days are welcome)

Address: 9718 Turnbow St., Houston, TX 77029

Munchies: Water, soft drinks, snacks and lunch will be provided

What to Wear/Bring: Must wear closed-toe shoes and clothing that you do not mind getting paint on. We also recommend bringing a hat, work gloves (very important), sunscreen and bug spray. We work rain or shine, so if it is raining please bring a rain poncho and rain boots if you have them. If you have a short or tall ladder, please bring it! Please label all personal tools that you bring. This house will involve a lot of painting .. so if you can bring your own paintbrush, this means we can put everyone to painting right away!

If you can help on Friday, October 19th, please let Jane know as we need a small crew to pressure wash the house, trim back the foliage and remove any debris.

Also, if you need to carpool from Emerson UU church on either Saturday, please let Jane know and she will make the arrangements.

We look forward to seeing you on the job site!
