The next NSS HQ work day is October 17. We typically work from 9 am to 3 pm. If you have a chain saw and can come down, we have a few trees that came down in a storm a couple of weeks ago. The limbs have been trimmed, but the trunks need to be cut up and moved. We also have painting to do, display cabinets that need to be moved back into the museum library and a bit of electrical work. Come join the fun. The NSS NEEDS you. Camping available.

What a great day at the HQ!! Thanks to Montgomery Grotto, Birmingham Grotto and Clock Tower Grotto!! 16 volunteers cleared vines & brush along the building, cleaned gutters, painted interior and exterior doors, painted museum ceilings and walls, cleaned the engraved brick patio, got rid of the nasty curtains from the stage and even took care of some electrical issues. NSS volunteers rock!!!

Convention is over and it's time to go back to the HQ for another work day! This Saturday, July18 we will be back at the HQ to continue our projects. There is always LOTS of painting to do. We also have convention stuff to sort and move back into storage. There is a small amount of sheetrock finishing to complete outside the library as well. If you want to camp, a permit needs to be filled out. We start at 9 am and work until about 3 pm.

Tomorrow is an HQ work day. The grotto that was scheduled to come just canceled.😪

I hadn't advertised because I had a good crew. If you're around and want to help out... I could use you!!

We start at 9 at the back of the HQ building.

I'd love to get this painted!!

What a great day at the HQ. Dos Antonios Tony Amundson and I spent the day working in the new archive work room. He installed the 6 ft stainless steel sink. I installed the dehumidifier, painted the doors and caulked the old PTAC HVAC unit holes! New floor was laid this week! Our archive guys will be so happy!!!
