Moving stuff for Colonel Davenport House

Calendar

Time
9-12

Description

The Colonel Davenport House has a space for additional storage in one of the Arsenal buildings. They have asked us to move our stuff to a different building and store it in a new designated space there. We need help doing the moving! The buildings are near each other, but it will still require some help getting everything from the old spot to the new one. We don't need anything as big as a moving truck, but we do have boxes, a few filing cabinets, stuff, and a cabinet. That's why people with some trucks would be great. A tour of the Colonel Davenport House is included. It doesn't have to be exactly 10 volunteers for this job. We could have it happen with a fewer or have a few more. Thanks
