Freight House News

Freight House Project Update, 8/1/2019

Time to get moving again! So, please take a moment to read through.

The upcoming to do list:
  • With all the concrete gone we have one more section of floor joists to remove. 
  • Continue to clean up the areas inside where the floor joists have been removed. 
  • Need to clean the exterior vegetation that has grow the past several weeks
  • Bench-building (see below).

We have a design for benches, 24-inch and 48-inch length, that we are going to build out of the old floor joists and flooring. These are then to be sold as a fund-raiser for the project. We are looking for some help with this. It mainly involves some wood cutting and sanding.  

Lansdale Founders Day 
This day is fast approaching, Saturday Aug. 24, and we will have a display at the Freight House from 10 am till sometime in the afternoon, with information, fund-raiser items for sale and a side door open for people to take a look inside. If you might be interested in helping with this let us know. It is a busy day and many of us will be involved with other things that day.

Upcoming Freight House Work Days
H
ope you can come out to give a hand. Refreshments and snacks will be provided, though you can always bring some goodies to share 
  • Sunday, Aug. 4 at 10 am
  • Wednesday, Aug. 14 at 6:30 pm

If anyone has a reciprocating saw, please bring along.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!
Saturday, Oct. 26th at the Freight House will be the Lansdale Oktoberfest and the return of the Frachthaus Zer0.5K. (Yes, that is POINT-5K, as in "half a k".) This is a fun fund-raiser for the Freight House and last years FIRST Zer0.5k was SO much fun. 

Other Progress
The engineering plans for the Freight House are being developed and our Freight House Committee has been investigating and making progress on the fund-raising part, which can be the toughest part for a nonprofit like us. We are keeping our eye on the end-result goal and we will keep moving forward until we get there.

Please ...
If you know anyone that may be interested in helping and/or would like to be added to our Freight House E-List, please send an email as below.

Thank You
