Volunteers help keep our maintenance costs down and it's a great way to socialize with people having common interests. With the short notice, we were not able to reach out to everyone on our volunteer list, but if you would like to help us doing routine maintenance and cleaning in the future, send us a PM and we will add you. Capriotti's was a great suggestion and everyone enjoyed lunch afterwards. Some people think the black was bland and doesn't match. Any ideas on what color we should paint the railing? The brown primer looks nice. Some were even suggesting white to match the fresh whitewash on Tweed's! The roof is dark green which would match and look sharp.
