Lutheran Social Services is working in conjunction with Gustavus alumni to help clean up at Gustavus this weekend. Our efforts have been concentrated on contacting people by phone, but please forward this email to friends and other alumni. Buses leave for St. Peter from the LSS building at 2485 Como Avenue in St. Paul, at the junction of Como and Hwy. Bring work gloves, rakes, pushbrooms, and garbage bags if possible. The water in St. Peter is in short supply.
Organizers prefer that people use buses, although groups riding in vans also can participate.
If you get a busy signal, try calling later. Volunteers are urged to dress for outdoor work. They should wear work gloves, and can bring rakes and shovels. Tasks include picking up tree limbs, sticks, rocks and other debris. No indoor work is anticipated.
