Hey Fairbanks! We are officially moving this Friday, May 30. We had a few folks sign up to help with our move through the newsletter, but we could use a few more. We have hired some muscle to help with furniture, but have many smaller boxes and items that we need assistance with, along with some cleaning help and tasks like paper shredding. If you want to help FSAF save costs on our move and come join in the fun -- sign up below. We are also looking to borrow large trucks/vehicles to transport items to our new location. Anyone who helps us out can also join us afterwards for a cold beer and a warm thanks at our new neighbor, Lavelle's Taphouse!

We need help of all kinds -- from cleaning our new space, to holding the door open, to carryng boxes and loaning/driving large vehicles to carry boxes. Please help us make this move a smooth one!
