We closed early due to a lack of volunteers

We closed early last week due to a lack of volunteers. A hard truth.

It was the first time we've actually had to close our doors, but we've come close plenty of other times.

We need more of our members to become volunteers.  Simple as that.

Please, right now, offer to become a volunteer.  Our Tool Library is a community resource run entirely by people like you, and we are asking for your help.  Thanks.

Meeting: The future of our Tool Library


Come all friends of the Southeast Portland Tool Library (SEPTL) to a general meeting in which we will be discussing the future of the SEPTL.

We need volunteers and we need money to help maintain and repair SEPTL tools.  Ideas that have been proposed are charging a small sliding scale membership fee 10 to 20 dollars; creating a Co-op out of the SEPTL, which again would result in some sort of membership fee; creating a committee to search and help create and host grant writing efforts, fund raisers and the like.

Come all with your ideas.  We will be in the Grace Room at St. David's unless we have to move to a location where we have more space.

When: Thurs, Dec 8, 2011
Time: 7 - 9 pm
Where: St. David's Episcopal Church, 2800 SE Harrison Ave
