You can also sign-up ahead for time for the June 26 Barnraising at the Cambridge YWCA Family Shelter.
We’re going to take another crack at it. It’s at 3 Bigelow St., to the left of Cambridge City Hall. The introduction starts around 12:30, so check in before that. We’ll work until 4, then have some food. Parking is very limited (and not available for people without a Cambridge sticker on a Saturday), so please find alternate transportation. The subway redline stops at Central Square, three blocks East. There will also be a separate attic airsealing effort here, only this one will be a week ahead of time, on the 19th. When you sign up here:

again you can select attic airsealing, if that’s the job (and date) you’d like to take part in.
