It's the time of year where WTA needs to take stock of what tools we have and if we're missing anything we need for next year!
This very small work party at the SW Tool Locker is for those of you who like counting, inventorying, and organizing. Please only register if you are good with details and can handle repetitive tasks.
About the Area: This will be held at the SW Tool Locker, a small garage in the Fort Vancouver complex.
What to Expect: We'll have fun, work hard and make a difference! No experience is necessary.
Project Description: This is a small and flexible work party that will convene at our SW tool locker to COUNT! Your crew leader will have spreadsheets; you will work together to make sure we have taken stock of everything we do and don't have in the locker. Please only register if you are good with details and can handle repetitive tasks.
Hiking Information: This work party does not involve a hike to the work site.
Schedule:
9:00 AM: Meet the crew and get oriented
Morning to 12:30 PM: Work at your own pace to count and document everything we own
