You can help build the playground!

WE NEED YOUR TOOLS!

In order to make the build a success, we need tools! FSP is asking that those with tools lend them to the build from September 11th-16th. Everyone who lends tools to the build will be given a specific number that will be placed on all of their tools, and our tools coordinator will do an inventory check before and after each day of the build to insure no tools are lost. The coordinator has participated in four previous builds, and is very familiar with the tools loaning process, so do not worry - we will ensure all tools are taken great care of! If you have tools that you can lend please email our build coordinator Lucas at lucas@friendsofstewartpark.org.
