The first new member build is SEPTEMBER 26TH!

                VERY IMPORTANT: Be on time! There are only so many hours they work in a day and we want to get as much done as possible. Be respectful… it’s a diverse group of people. Homeowners will be present and it’s sometimes fun to hear their stories. Make sure you are working hard and putting an effort like the other workers. Remember that you are representing U of R and everything you do reflects on us.
