Blessed Beavers Work Parties in July:
A Saturday, A Sunday, and Four Wednesdays!

Summer is here and it's time to move along on building the Dome at Ardantane! First of all, we'll be making "sandwiches"--no prior skill required--and we'll be doing that at ground level in the cool, breezy shade inside the Dome itself!

HERE ARE THE DATES:
Wednesday, July 4
(Yeah, it's Independence Day--you can still watch fireworks that night)
Wednesday, July 11
Saturday, July 14
Wednesday, July 18
Sunday, July 22
Wednesday, July 25

We'll get started at 8:00 am (you can arrive later if you need to)
and work as long as feels good. Free cold beverages and lunch,
and $35 in Beaver Bucks for those who work 6 hours.

Ladder teams will be trimming and taping seams, and high teams will be putting on the rubberized roofing compound and installing more panels.

Only 25 panels to fill on the present level, and then we'll be down to the final level and installing the windows, doors, and final panels!

Let's make this the year we finish the Dome--Ardantane's first major classroom and multipurpose building! Please come help!
