Volunteers Needed to Help with Food Cart
Fund Raising and Church Painting

Workmen install wooden shingles on the Rutland Center Church.

Dear Friend of the Rutland Center Church:

We need your help. Thanks to contributions from many individuals and grants from a number of different organizations, we have made real progress in the restoration of the Rutland Center Church. Their generosity has allowed us to hire professional craftsmen to replace the church foundation, install new stone work, strengthen the floor system, replace the roof, and restore the six windows.

While much has been accomplished, we have more work to do, and some of it will now require that we roll up our sleeves and invest a little sweat equity in the project.

Would you be willing to donate three or four hours of your time to the project?

Work to be Done: -Operating Food Cart Workers are needed to prepare and sell food at these events. Proceeds from these carts will be added to the restoration fund maintained by the Town of Rutland Board of Supervisors. volunteers cannot provide.	Food stands at Oregon's Horse show and SummerFest raised more than $2000 for the renovation.
We plan to operate two food carts this year: The Oregon Horse Show, May 26, 2008 Summer Fest, June 26 to 29, 2008
-Painting Exterior Walls and Windows Walls: We have removed paint from about half of the church but now need help in the coming weeks scraping and sanding the remaining material. When that’s done, we’ll need painters to apply a primer and two finish coats to the exterior walls. We plan to announce several work weekends where volunteers could participate mornings or afternoons at their convenience.	Scraping and painting has been time consuming but the old building has held up well and will look great when we’re finished.
Windows: the 12 panels have been professionally restored but they now need painting and glazing.
