Join us to help decorate Tharros Place for Valentine's Day (or rather Galentine's Day)!  We'll also do a couple of projects around the place to make sure things are running smoothly.  They have very little love-themed decor on hand, so let's get creative and bring the love!  If you have a small step ladder or step stool, please bring that along as well.  Tape, monofiliment, hooks, etc. could also be helpful, but only if you have them on hand.

For the privacy of Tharros place residents, the address will not be released until you have registered and signed an NDA.  The NDA will be emailed to you after you register.  If you have volunteered at Tharros Place in the past, you can simply sign another NDA on site at the event.

Kids ages 12 and over are welcome.  Wear your rotary t-shirt and join in the fun!
