Many alumni over the past three years have stated they would like to pitch in with the house refurbishment if given enough advance notice. This is your chance. Fortunately we are running out of projects. But we have a few smaller projects on the docket.

During the 2023 Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts we will hold two short (4 hour) work parties. Please note, these work parties are optional. One on Friday July 14th and one on Saturday July 15th. The remaining time will be attending a Creamery Ice Cream Social, enjoying the Arts Festival, attending John & Michelle Groenveld’s afternoon party, a Golf Outing or a trip to Penn’s Cave.

The projects include painting the 3rd floor bathroom (final act of 3rd floor bathroom refurbishment), painting the hand rails in both stairwells, replacing the baseboard heater in the first floor women’s room and whatever else the house manager can come up with.

All materials and tools will be available on-site.

Catered Lunch on Friday & Saturday will be provided by the PSU Triangle Alumni Organization. Again, work at the work party is optional. Lunch will be provided for all workers, supervisors, critics and foremen. This opportunity is open to undergraduates who want to make the trip to Penn State from their demanding summer job, with likely no vacation leave available. But, we’d very much appreciate it if you could make it.

We reserved a block of hotel rooms at the Hilton Garden Inn, 1221 East College Avenue, State College, PA. 814-272-121 (phone). The rate is $228.00/night. If interested and would like to reserve a hotel room or if you have questions, contact Brother Michael Golden, mjgolden3@earthlink.net or 908-902-0042 (cell). We want a head count a soon as possible. Let Brother Golden know by June 15th if you plan to attend. A simple "I'll be there or we'll be there or count us in" is good enough. We have to release any unused hotel rooms by June 30th.
