Work Parties and House/Office Needs

There are some big concerns about Lahash House during our lovely Oregon rain torrents. We urgently need a roofing person to flash the chimney to keep out that rain. Does anyone know an unemployed roofer who would like to do a very important job? Or perhaps a well-employed one not likely to charge the standard fee? It's a priority need right now, so if you can point us to a likely roofing angel, please let us know!





There are also additional projects at Lahash House to continue the remarkable progress made last summer and fall. Winter sort of froze volunteer enthusiasm, but we'd like to renew efforts to make the Lahash House a bright, welcoming place to complement the fantastic work of our staff.

So here's the plan: we'll have four major work days during the summer, all Saturdays - June 12, 19, 26, and July 10. There's more than enough work for folks who want to paint, or rake, or hammer, or plaster, or tote, or scrape. There will be food and drinks - coffee and doughnuts when you arrive and lunch. Let us know you can be with us on one, two, or all of those days.




Here's 3 Ways to get involved:
-Work Days
Come join the hilarious and fascinating Lahash community for days of renovating and improving the old home. We'll go from about 9 AM to 5 PM.

Email info@lahash.net if you can make it!
• June 12
• June 19
• June 26
• July 10

-Chimney/Roof
We need a kind soul who can assist us with chimney and roofing work. Are you that kind of person? Or do you know a friend of a friend that would love to share expertise and time for a good cause?
Let us know: info@lahash.net


Our recently refurbished Presentation/Meeting Room. Hopefully the whole house will look like this some day!


-Donations
If you can't make it to one of the work days, but still want to pitch in, we're in need of donations to get all the supplies and work done. This summer we need to replace windows, purchase paint & primer, replace fixtures, and purchase furniture. We need an additional $5,500 to make the magic happen!

To donate, head to www.lahash.net/donate.html or send your donation into our office:

Lahash International
4850 N Vancouver Ave
Portland, OR 97217

We appreciate all the ways you support the Lahash ministry, and we are confident that God will provide!
