DADDY-DO-LIST

Do you or a friend, family member or neighbor need some help with basic handy man work in the home?  We would like to pair people with household needs such as cleaning gutters, lawn work, gardening, light handy-work or other miscellaneous chores with those band/color guard parents who can help, and funds donated will go to their fair share.

Do you need help with decorating your home for the holidays such as hanging lights or lawn ornaments?   Prepping your home for the holidays could be completed by a fellow band/guard parent.

Would you like to save money on calling random professionals for simple jobs around your home that you have not been able to find the time to complete?  Instead utilize your band/guard parents and support their fair share.

List your chore needed and we will distribute the request back out to the band/guard parents to find volunteers. 

Please no electrical or heavy machinery requests.

Please call Amber Kmet at 727-743-7181 to list your need to the list.

Dads will sign up for the job.

Dad will not handle any money.  Money is paid up front (blue box). 

Share the flyer with your friends, family and neighbors.  Please also share on your Facebook.
