Friday, April 03-Sunday, April 05, 2026
Springtime is here and our Finegold Easter Reunion is just around the corner. We have some fun community arts and activities set up for the Easter weekend.
We all know that many hands make light work, so this year we’d like for everyone who comes to Easter weekend to help out in some way.
Volunteers Opportunities
Our community members volunteering time and materials is what keeps Finegold going.
When you arrive please check out our volunteer sign-up sheet which will be available at the Gate House.
- If you arrive at Finegold early Easter week, connect with Mary Strobel or Marc Mandel about what needs to be done. As of this posting we know that weed whacking around the Elephant Shed and the Lawn are needed. In addition wood will need to be cut and stacked for the Saturday night barbecue and bonfire.
- If you arrive Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, connect with Sophie or keep an eye out for a volunteer coordinator to get plugged in.
- If you’re into helping with volunteer sign-ups/coordination, please reach out to Sophie or Zoe Claire Foster sooner than later!
- Anyone willing to share or teach a skill or art, please email Sophie.
