Summary: Help us put tools to bed and get ready for the 2018 project season!
Description: Spending a bit of time to winterize tools in the fall has big payoffs in the spring! To ensure our tools are in great shape for the start of next season, we need 50 volunteers to clean, sharpen, paint and repair our tools, as well as to clean and organize the VOC Operations Center.
As with previous OcTOOLberfest sessions, the event will also include a fun potluck to help everyone keep their energy up! Volunteers with last names starting with A - H, please bring an appetizer. Volunteers with last names starting with I - O, please bring an entree. Everyone else, please bring a dessert.
