2007-08 Volunteer Days

[geo_cajun]

Are their going to be any alumni volunteer workdays? There have to be a few little projects that we could help Gerald with. We've done it in the past and it is not only helpful, but I always have fun and it gives more pride in the facilities and the university to those involved. Just wondering.

_ Are their going to be any alumni volunteer workdays?

Good question and I don't know.

I would note that if there is to be a meaningful turnout, about 2 months is the proper lead time.

good point turbine, it does take time so people can make plans to work. Haven't the workdays been in august? that really is the best possible time to work during the day on concrete structures. I will also be alumni in december, I can't wait to be able to buy season tickets (lucrative employment pending).

I will also be alumni in december...

YES!!! I guess I can now quote you on that! Now your mother (and I) will be able to make plans to be there!

With the proper equipment it would be nice, and not hard to repaint ALL the parking lot striping. I think this would look great, how about you? Would anyone want to help me get this project going? Are is their a project you would rather?

IMO there are two projects that volunteers are suited for. The parking lot work you described, and also the pressure washing, and sealing of the stadium. We could do the steps and stands, and professional could do the work that you need scaffolds, or cranes to accomplish.

Last year several of us pressure washed & painted the tunnel. We were only able to finish the areas exposed to sunlight on both sides; but not the interior (covered) area. This could be a good time to finish it up.

Put in about 2 hours this evening but they are not finished. Will start tommorrow at 12:30 . all volunteers are welcome. They are fixing up the players lounge with new furniture and large screen tv. Gonna get floors resurfaced and so. This is on second floor of EK Long gym. It is a players lounge for athletes to use during the day.

Gerald Hebert and his wife need some help to finish up on the remodeling of the athlete's lounge at EK Long Gym. They need about 6 to 7 people on Thursday November 8, 2007 to finish painting. Once the painting is done, the wooden floors will be refinished, then the new lounge furniture and Large screen Television will be installed. This will allow the student athletes to have their own lounge to go to between classes. It will also be used to help in recruiting athletes. Gerald told me once finished, it will really be nice.

Gerald has asked me to ask those who can help to call him at his office or cell to set up a time to finish up. office 482-0922, cell - 962-0296.

Please give him a hand so they can have the painting done, the floors refinished, television set up in time for Coaches to use as a recruiting tool

Thanks
