Greetings!

More great news! We were able to get more vintage ship parts for the MARY's engine room! So... we are running late getting out this request for weekend help, AND there is more to do on Saturday.

Can you help with any or all of this? If we have enough people show up, there could be 2 teams working concurrently, otherwise the penguin team will move over to engine work.

Set up Penguin Park for December holidays, starts 9am
We install large inflatable holiday decorations to convert PortSide Park to Penguin Park for December.
  1. hang new string lights on the fence
  2. move potted plants out of the way
  3. set up inflatable penguin holiday decorations (we have more this year!) tying them to pavers before inflating so they don't blow away

Engine parts work starts 12 noon:
  1. Document all parts we acquired (lay them out, photo them with a tape measure, create written inventory)
  2. Rearrange stuff in cargo tank P2 as needed to make room for the new stuff
  3. Lower new stuff into P2

2 and 3 will involve rigging and or hand-lifting.

If you can’t come at 12pm, when could you get here and be here?

Please email me to say what time you can be here and for how long. If you can't make it tomorrow, but can another day next week, let us know when.

Thanks in advance!

Best,
