Newcomers to Starland who volunteer at our Work
Weekends are offered a complimentary Bright Star Membership. For more details,
see Starland's memberships.
If you'd like to help out anytime or even
"call"
a Work & Play Event into being, please
contact us. Thanks!
You are welcome to arrive Friday afternoon, and stay through Sunday night. No
fee for our volunteers and who will also be eligible for a complimentary Bright
Star annual Membership, or a renewal to an existing Bright Star Membership.
Bring tools that might help you with the tasks you're interested in. Also bring
a jacket or sweater, and the usual things to bring (see
What to Bring).
We plan to clean up and move some heavy things! So we need "muscles" for our
Work & Play Weekend. There are a number of tasks for "less-muscled" volunteers, too!
During the weekend, we'll offer all volunteers a tasty dinner, and hot tub use.
Snack food, bottled water, soft drinks, coffee and tea, will be available to all
who register and come to this Work & Play Weekend. Breakfast cereals, and other
culinary "delights" are here, too. Let us know if you have special dietary
needs, or food allergies.
Things we seek, from donors and volunteers:
NOTE: A lot of times we just need know-how. If you're an expert in a
particular trade, but can't spend the time to do the work for us, just teach us
how and show us how the work should be done professionally... any input would be
extremely helpful for us and very much appreciated.
-- We need a plumbing expert to relocate our out-door washing machine before a
freeze comes.
-- Electrical work; supply to cabins, in the house, and the RV area.
-- Paint; (consider buying the "rejects" at Home Depot for $5/gallon). We need
all kinds and colors of paint (the brighter, the better), for both indoor and
outdoor projects.
-- Refrigerators (must be "Energy Star" certified) any size.
1) We have a
$100-$200 budget for a USED ONE
2) and also a
$300 matching fund for a BRAND NEW "Energy Star" certified
refrigerator.
Contact us, if you need further information.
Some on-going projects:
For the Muscular and Brawny...
1) LANDSCAPE RENEWAL -Big-time. We need someone handy with a road grader or
Bob-cat tractor to level and develop parts of Starland.
1) Area for car, scrap
material, and, refuse storage area to keep Starland beautiful.
2) "Matrix-Ville Creation
Compound" -flatten area for dwelling and drive-way development with Road access.
2) Fencing;
1) Our old fence has
deteriorated/blown down and needs mending.
1) New fencing to enclose
the scrap material and storage area.
3) Move and clean-up behind the fence and Pine Cabin. This work requires
gloves, and good work shoes, for safety. There are many heavy, oblong objects to
move and place in a neat stack. We seek sorters and handlers!
4) Build a hinged cover over the septic tank. Simple carpentry skills needed.
5)
Removal of Above-Ground Electric Conduit Behind Bunk Cabin
6) "Grunt" Work, to prepare for new underground conduit.
