Mission Control Volunteer Day!

Sunday, November 15th 12 PM - 4 PM

>>> RSVP HERE <<<

Let's come together to make our community space even more welcoming. Members, Volunteers, esteemed Allies, endowed Crew and newcomers WELCOME! Long time member? Haven't seen the space or met many of the members? Only have an hour? Feel free to come for the entire event or just drop by for a bit. No specific skills are required – just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to contribute.

Volunteering is a great way to meet people, and feel involved in the community! This is an open house event, and no PAL is required. However, it's a fantastic opportunity to meet new people and potentially find a PAL if you are new to the community. So whether you want to scrub and shimmy, showcase your strength by hauling things around, or offer creative decor suggestions, your presence is valued.

Come prepared to connect with fellow community members, make new friends, and collectively clean up to make a more lovely environment for the year ahead.

What to expect?

• Organizing and tidying up communal areas
• Garden maintenance and beautification (if weather permits)
• Basic cleaning tasks such as dusting, sweeping, mopping
• Cleaning and refreshing furniture
• Decorating and improving the overall ambiance

Community Contributions: We welcome more cleaning supplies! While we have a limited number of cleaning tools, feel free to bring additional supplies such as scrub brushes, cleaning spray, rags, dusters, upholstery steamer/cleaner and more. Your contributions will help make our community care efforts even more effective.

Potluck Sharing: While we'll be providing some food, we encourage you to bring more to share, especially if you have specific dietary restrictions. Let's create a diverse and delicious spread that caters to everyone's tastes. Your thoughtful contributions will add to the warmth of our gathering.

🛠️ We’ve made some BIG progress at Mission Control since our last Volunteer Day! 🎉

Big news for Mission Control... if you don't already know... we officially bought the building! 🎉

Now that the space is truly ours, we’re starting some exciting improvements to make it more accessible, welcoming, and functional for the community.

🚽 Bathroom construction is underway!

Construction on both the new ADA bathroom and our new second bathroom has officially started. The ADA bathroom is now usable, but not quite finished, and the second bathroom is currently serving as storage for construction materials while we prepare for the next phase of work.

🏗️ The first phase of the office renovation is complete!

We’ve opened up the office area and made some major improvements to the space. There’s still more we want to do, and we’ll be launching another round of crowdfunding in the future to help us complete the next phase.

At our last Volunteer Day, we made HUGE progress moving furniture, clearing storage, organizing, and getting areas ready for construction. Thank you so much to everyone who showed up and helped make that happen! 💜

🧹 This time, our mission is: ORGANIZE!

Construction and events have left their mark. We currently have piles of event decorations everywhere, supplies have migrated into all sorts of random places, and basically nothing is where it’s supposed to be. 😅

So this Volunteer Day, we’re going to tackle the chaos!

We’ll be sorting through event decorations and supplies, reorganizing storage areas, rearranging furniture and equipment, finding sensible homes for things, and generally getting Mission Control back into shape.

If organizing isn’t your thing, don’t worry — we’ll have plenty of other projects and cleaning tasks too! Whether you want to scrub, sweep, haul, sort, rearrange, decorate, or just lend an extra set of hands, there will be something you can help with.

Come help us turn the chaos back into Mission Control. 💜🛠️✨
