We need 15-20 people each day, <strong>Wednesday and Thursday Oct 28 &amp; 29</strong>&nbsp;from 9am to 1pm to work in teams. We welcome you to help <strong>one or both days</strong>. There is something for everyone to do. For some, this will involve the use of power tools - drivers and sawzalls. We need people who can use the tools to remove the screws from the old boards and screw on the new boards. We also need people who can help move the lumber, e.g. bring new boards to the bench area and move the old boards out.&nbsp;</font></p> <p style="line-height: 22px;"><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Bring your power driver, phillips bits and charger. There will be a generator on site for charging as needed. If you have a portable sawzall, bring that also.</font></p> <p style="line-height: 22px;"><font color="#000000" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Wear your best work clothes &amp; shoes! Bring work gloves. Lunch and water will be provided</font></p> <p style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="">&nbsp;If you have any questions, please email Peg Gramas.&nbsp; gramas.peg@gmail.com. Thanks for your continued support!</span></p> https://friendsofludingtonstatepark.org/event-6878242 https://friendsofludingtonstatepark.org/event-6878242 Sat, 09 Jan 2027 22:00:00 GMT <p>Sign up to volunteer for Lantern-lit Events by clicking:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F45AAA72DA1FBC52-lantern" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.signupgenius.com/images/sign-up-now2.gif" width="undefined" height="undefined" border="0" alt="Sign Up!"></a></p> <p>Hike a lantern-lit trail through a portion of the Ludington State Park, including a stop at a campfire where hot chocolate and marshmallow roasting are available. &nbsp;If conditions allow, about 40 pairs of snowshoes are available to borrow at no cost. &nbsp;FLSP volunteers can help people new to snowshoeing strap them on. &nbsp;If there isn't sufficient snow, the hikes are by foot and still present a nice way to enjoy the park on a winter's evening. &nbsp;The lighted trail begins at the Warming Shelter, located next to the parking lot at the end of State Highway M-116.&nbsp; Participation is free, but a Recreation Passport is required for vehicle entry to Ludington State Park.&nbsp;</p> https://friendsofludingtonstatepark.org/event-6813062 https://friendsofludingtonstatepark.org/event-6813062
