Out North plans to repaint the outside and the lobby area of the building at 3800 DeBarr Rd. and they're looking for help from art patrons who may have more muscle than money. They're also hoping to do some lawn upkeep (planting flowers, trimming, etc.).

Call 279-8099 for more details, or just show up on the dates given below. What follows is from the press release received last night:

On July 20th (Tues.) 5pm until we’re too tired: We need lots of people to prepare the building for painting. No experience required, just a willingness to work.

July 21st (Wed.) 5pm until we’re too tired: (Somewhat) skilled painters needed for painting the interior of the building, unskilled labor needed for lawn work and basic gardening, and assisting the paint spraying.

July 22nd (Thur.) 5pm until we’re too tired: Probably a lot like Wednesday

Aug 7th (Sat) 10am-5pm: Making the building pretty! More details to come.

We need all sorts of help, so bring some clothes you can get dirty and a willingness to work, and we’ll have a great time. We’ll provide snacks and drinks.

Remember: 3 hours of volunteer time = 1 hour of free Out North rental time! This is a great chance to build up those hours!
