Calling all Dads!
Hey Dads! We need your help! I am sure that as any proud father, you want to help your child succeed at all they do. It is sometimes a challenge to figure out how we as dad’s can fit into the “Ballet” world. This is our opportunity! Join the team and help make the dream of our brand new studio in St. Matthews a reality.
This 2-part project is to help move sprung wood flooring into the new studio at the Louisville Ballet School in St. Matthews beginning Saturday, July 24, 2010.
Phase 1: Transport the flooring:
This will take all day, so we can schedule shifts beginning @ 10:00am – as long as there are enough people throughout the day! We will be meeting up at the St. Matthews studios at 10:15am and unloading the moving truck and transporting the flooring upstairs to the St. Matthews studios.
How much power can 20 fathers generate? We need to find out!
The sprung wood flooring is in 39 separate sections that are 4’ x 8’. It will take at least 4 strong dads to lift each section of flooring. We need your brawn to help make our dream of this brand new studio a reality. Uncles, big brothers and friends are all welcome to lend a helping hand as well. The more volunteers we have the easier it will be on everyone because this floor is heavy!
Phase 2 of the floor project is to install it into the new studio during the week of August 2 – 6, 2010. This schedule is TBA until the building contractors are finished. Please send your availability for this week and we will contact you with more details ASAP.
Phase 2: Install sections of the floor:
1.) Sections will be pieced together like a puzzle and locked into place.
2.) Masonite board will be laid over the entire floor and permanently secured by drilling it into the sprung floor.
Thank you for your much needed support and sweat! Because of your generous offer to help out on such short notice, we would like to offer you a token of our appreciation. Every dad, who volunteers for this project will receive a complimentary ticket to an upcoming Louisville Ballet production to accompany your child’s school voucher. It will be your chance to spend some quality time with your daughter (or son!)…a father/child “date”!
