N.S.F.B.
SCRUB OUT
Our Rear Hall Rentals
have been put on hold . The Front
Hall will still be open to our club members and their guests. During this time,
Our Goal is to have a huge "SCRUB OUT" it has been just over a
year since our last major cleaning. We are asking our members to come out and
assist with the scrub out.
PLEASE call the North Side Fire Brigade at 773-545-3883. Let us know when you can be available to help with the "SCRUB OUT" and Thank you.
We are asking our
members to donate some of their time. It is usually the same members again and
again, helping with the parties, picnics, and outings.
If
each member would donate just a little bit, the burden would be lighter on the
members who have always been there for the membership and the club. "What you
can do to help"? We need help with the disregarding of items that no longer in
use, cleaning, repairing any trim that may have come loose, plumbing,
re-grouting the floor tile, perhaps just tightening the screws on the stools and
or painting the club, Even if you came out just to extend moral support, that
would be extremely helpful. Perhaps you could interject with a few suggestions
to improve the club, after all remember, it is "OUR CLUB" any and all
suggestions are always be helpful.
