Member's Only Website

I am creating another website to manage members and project sign up events. This is being done through Big Tent. I ask ALL members to sign up for an account or contact me to send you an invitation to join so you can keep track of your membership and projects that are coming up. I am hoping this will help keep everyone in the loop as to what projects are being offered and leaders to know who is interested in participating in the projects. The link to the buzz page

Sam, Emma, Jack, Mr. and Mrs. Machesic, Joe, Nick P., Mr. and Mrs. Polichetti, Rachel, Kelly Tony, Nick G., Laura and her father all went to the Shelly's Farm on the 18th to help clean up. The Shelly's farm got hit pretty hard with all the winter storms we had. They needed all the help they could get. There was going to be another help out today but due to the rainy weather it was postponed to a later date. That date will be posted on here once it is verified.

Thanks to all the help we got! It was a lot of fun and the Shelly's really appriciated all the help.
