Calling all volunteers! It’s time to register for the fall season! Y.A.H.O.O.’s target schedule is: 10/26, 11/2, 11/9, and 11/16. We may also work on 11/23, if necessary, if leaves fall later than normal or a weekend is cancelled due to wet conditions. Volunteers will meet at the orange Y.A.H.O.O. shed located next to the Butterick Building no later than 8:45 a.m. and everyone will return to the shed by about 11:15 a.m. Youth volunteers…
Tom Dube of Dube Construction Management (DCM) generously donated labor and materials to complete much needed repairs to the Y.A.H.O.O. shed. DCM rebuilt nearly the entire north wall (studs and siding), some of the interior floor, replaced most of the base boards along with portions of the siding close to the ground, several trim boards, and inserted flashing at seam lines. We are humbled by Tom’s kind and generous spirit. We can’t thank him enough…
Each year Sterling’s Chocksett Middle School graciously hosts a presentation by the Y.A.H.O.O. Youth Board. All seventh and eighth graders gather in the school auditorium to hear board members describe the program and answer questions. The teachers and the school’s administration are wonderful ambassadors and supporters of the program. We can’t thank them enough for their assistance. Here‘s an example of the typical five minute presentation.
