PMI-MN Paint-A-Thon Team

PMI-MN Paint-A-Thon Team

As part of its “Chapter That Cares” program, PMI-MN will be sponsoring a team for the 26th annual Metro Paint-A-Thon. The Paint-A-Thon is sponsored by the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches (GMCC) and involves over 2,000 volunteers who paint over 100 homes in the Twin City Metropolitan area. In order to qualify for the program, home owners must be either low income seniors or persons with disabilities.

This year’s Paint-A-Thon will be held on Saturday, August 1, 2009 (alternate rain date is Sunday, August 2). Painting teams vary in size, which allow the house to be painted in one day. Prior to the Paint-A-Thon date, there are opportunities to plan the event and prepare the house so that the team can focus only on painting on paint day.

Depending on the project assigned to PMI from GMCC, there may be a need for a small team of volunteers to help prepare the house. The prep day this year is Saturday, July 25 (alternate rain date is Sunday, July 26).

In addition to recruiting volunteers for the paint
and prep team(s), PMI-MN is looking people to help out with the Paint-A-Thon planning committee. PMI is also looking for volunteers to take over the Paint-A-Thon event going forward in 2010. /

You do not have to be an experienced painter to volunteer. There are other possible volunteer opportunities too. Please consider joining the PMI-MN Paint-

A-Thon team. You will not only have a good time as you work side-by-side with other chapter members, but will be making a major contribution to the community helping to

restore a home for someone in need.
