 We have a need for volunteers to help with a number of things: clearing and refurbishing footpaths, gardening, hauling and shredding brush, and finishing work on our meditation huts, or kutis. The meal offering would begin around 10:30 am, and we would start our work period promptly at 1:00 pm, working until tea-time at 5:00 pm. If you can come, please let us know via email or the contact form. If you are unsure, please just come spontaneously if you can! Feel free to join for as much or as little of the day as you like. We also welcome any offers to come help work at other times, there's gardening and grounds-keeping work that the monks can't complete without the help of some volunteers. If anyone has access to a brush shredder for that day, please let us know. Other tools that would be helpful: chainsaws, loppers, pruning saws, and hard and soft rakes. Otherwise, please feel free to bring your favorite gardening tools, too. If you live in the Portland/Vancouver area consider posting on the PFoD mailing list to coordinate carpooling or sharing a ride to the hermitage. We look forward to seeing you and joining in the community affair. |
