Volunteers Needed to Help with the Old Souls Airbnb - Outside - Video

The Old Souls airbnb has been out of operation for the past couple of years while we accommodated a long term tenant, a good friend and supporter of Old Souls and her family. They have now moved out and while we are sad to see them go, we are excited to be able to offer the Old Souls Farm Retreat again through airbnb. There's just one catch - we need to make repairs and updates to make it as beautiful and comfortable for guests as possible. But Kelly, Vega, and I do not have the skills to do that on our own. We are looking for volunteers who love Old Souls and are willing to use their skills and talents to help us fix up the Old Souls Farm Retreat by September 23rd.

Here is a complete list of all the things we need to do outside to get the airbnb ready. If you can do even one of these things to help us, please text me at 520-334-5966, and let me know what the task is, and what you need me to buy so you can complete it. We will be there Saturday (9/12) 8am-2pm [INSTEAD OF Volunteer Day at Old Souls) and Sunday (9/13) 8am-12noon. Everyone is welcome to be there during those hours to help with whatever you can, no need to RSVP. If there is something specific on the list that you can work on and you want to be there during different days or hours, just let me know!
