Headquarters Unit
555 Sunflower Road
Bossier City, LA 71112
When: Saturday, June 7, 2008
Time: 7:00 a.m. - 12:00 noon
There are some minor and a couple of not-so-minor jobs to complete the renovation of the temporary office/visitor center at Headquarters. Tasks include painting, minor carpentry, lining kitchen drawers, reorganizing the pantry and kitchen closet, and yard maintenance; in other words, there's something for everyone. If you can come out and help, please contact Jerry Bertrand at 868-3255 or jeb1954@redriverrefugealliance.org
We'll have a potluck lunch at noon, so bring some food to share. Beverages, plates, napkins, and utensils will be provided.
