to wear under their helmets; the yarn will be provided. We are also
looking for volunteers to sew neck coolers; the material will be

Work Crews Needed
We are in need of workers to help get the Bozeman Catholic Community
Center ready for our transfer to that building for Masses. We need able
bodied men and women. We need people with power tools like screw
drivers. We need to move pews that are bolted to the floor. We need to
take off some things that Hope Lutheran had on the walls, that we do not
want. We need to move a very heavy altar, that comes apart, but the top
is very heavy, so if we could get younger men to help do this, that
would be great. It is not being moved far, but it is still heavy. We
need people with tall ladders, that are willing to get up on them and
dust off lights, fans, and speakers. We need people to move furniture
around the building. If you would like to help, please call the office
and give them your name, phone number, and what you would like to do. We
will then, get crews together, so that no one is stepping on anyone
else, and no one is idle. The deadline on this will be August 27, 2010.
We will also need help the week of September 6, 2010 to move things from
our church to the Community Center.
