Flag Maintenance

to Jun 13

Flag Maintenance

Volunteers Needed: 14 people

Tasks:

  • During the display of flags, we need pairs of volunteers who are willing to walk the site to catch any ongoing maintenance we need to do to keep all the flags sharp and flying at full staff.

  • Also, if Hub RTP or visitors report any issues, we hope maintenance volunteers would be willing to follow up on any requests around their shift to check them out and work with the logistic group to address them.

  • Shift times, listed below, are flexible – we're hoping that each pair can plan on at least one field stop a week.
