Details on the March 24th Mandatory Construction Meeting

Hi Everyone: We are being asked if the March 24th meeting is mandatory to build and here is our response.

Yes, the meeting is mandatory for anyone doing construction … that being said, no one will be turned away if they show up on April 2! (That’s for sure!)

The meeting on Thursday, March 24th at 6:00 PM will be critical so we can hit the ground running on April 2.

• Everyone will be assigned their team leaders and shown exactly what piece of the project they will be working on.
• We will assess skill levels and assign colored t-shirts accordingly.
• Since there will be youth groups involved in the project we will go over safety protocol in a little more detail.
• We will collect the signed waivers so we can minimize the amount of paper work on April 2.
• We will cover transportation and parking.  
• Be SURE to watch this blog for any last minute details. 

PS: (Dinner will be provided at the March 24th meeting and lunches are provided every day of the build!)

Be sure to RSVP so we can get a count for the March 24th meeting at 425-228-6356 or kristis@vision-house.org
