Volunteers will:
- Assemble and hang fresh Christmas garlands throughout our lobby and hallways.
- Repair and hang Christmas lights around our lobby, hallways, studios and theater.
- Securely install, decorate and drape a Christmas tree.
- Decorate and hang Christmas wreaths.
- Do light cleaning - sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, cleaning windows and other surfaces, picking up and disposing of odd-shaped or odd-textured items that cannot be swept or vacuumed. Cleaning products used: Windex, Dirtex, Pine-Sol, Endust/Pledge, Goo Gone and other similar products with different brand names.
- Light lifting and climbing on a ladder or step stool is required for much of this work. We have 10’ ceilings and therefore use 6’ - 8’ ladders to hang decorations.
