The OAA Center is our home and those of us who care about OAA's work and mission are invited to join in to help with the maintenance of our property. If you've enjoyed an event at the OAA Center or have actively utilized the OAA facilities – Yamauchi Building, Higashi Building, conference room, Kamiya Library, or the office – we hope you can join us on November 17 to help pitch in. Please bring your work and kitchen gloves and cleaning clothes. We typically go until all tasks are done, usually around 3 p.m., but the more people who volunteer, the quicker we can finish things up! Still, we welcome all for any amount of time – "come if you can, leave when you must." Tasks include (but are not limited to): • Wiping all tables and chairs • Cleaning all restrooms • Dusting shelves, blinds, etc. • Mopping the tiled floors • Vacuuming carpeted floors • Organizing/re-organizing certain areas Yutasarugutu unigee sabira.
