Students,

 

Please see the email below for a service opportunity this weekend. Please contact Mr. Robinson for more information.

Date: Saturday, 9/7

  Ideally, I need 6-8 students in two groups: 

 Group 1: MEET AT 8:45, at SACRED HEART. They will get tables and chairs and load them into the truck. Then, these students will travel with us to the Cafe on Vine (932 W 6th) to set up the tables and chairs. They’d be done by 10:00. 

 Group 2: MEET AT 1:00 at CAFE ON VINE, 932 W 6th Street. They will tear down the tables and chairs and load them into the truck. Then, these students will travel with us back to Sacred Heart to put the tables and chairs away. They’d be done by 2:15. 

 The students can do both shifts, or we could have 12-16 total between the two shifts. 

 The students would be supervised by myself, and my husband, Caine Schneider. Ideally, the students can drive between Sacred Heart and the Cafe, but Caine and I have room in our cars if needed.

 They can reach out to me at 563.676.9650, or nicolehirstschneider@gmail.com email address or inform Mr. Robinson. Ideally, I’d like to know by end of day Thursday, so we can email out the final instructions, and I can try to recruit others if there isn’t enough interest.
