AND RESTORE THIS FABULOUS LANDMARK IN GETTYSBURG. COME TAKE

We are still working with individuals, groups of volunteers
and community service workers that are coming to the Farm to
volunteer their time. Words can't adequately express the appreciation
to all of those who have helped in the past. GBPA thanks you.
We still have a long way to go and a short time to accomplish
everything, the grant deadline requires all the interior work
on the house MUST be finished by December 30, 2006. No special
skills are needed, we will give instructions as to what you
will be doing. Floors need to be prepped for refinishing, old
plaster must be removed from the parlor walls, sanding and
painting woodwork, clean up outside, touch up paint on the
windows and doors, clean out the garage and many other tasks
are still on the list. LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED for groups of
ten or more. Birng your water bottle or sodas, work
gloves and protective eyewear (if you wear them) with you. Are you
an electrician, plumber or painter that could donate some time
as we work on the interiori restoriation? If so, we could use
you!
YOu can bring any of the following items: rakes, brooms, shovels,
wheel barrow, weed whacker, lawn mower, old screw driver and
hammer, scraper of putty knife, wire brush for cleaning off
old paint, and anything else that you may feel would be helpful.
We need an yold toweling that can be donated to be used during
the removal of old finishes on the floors and woodwork. Lots
of "elbow grease" is appreciated with the cleaning work!

WORKING at 9 AM. However, any time that you can give is really
appreciated! Remember to WEAR OLD CLOTHING! You may want to
