Yule Tide Tool Drive

Hello All-

Saturday December 11th from 11:30-12:30 the HandsOn New Orleans Tool Lending Library will be holding its first annual Yule Tide Tool Drive.  There will be lunch served, tool demonstrations, library tours and more.  If you are interested in attending please RSVP with Mike McNamara at mmcnamara@handsonneworleans.org or by phone 504.483.7041 ext 105 by December 3rd.

The purpose of the event is to not only highlight the library, but also to try and get tools donated to the library.  If you would like to make a donation, please take a look at our wish list below.  All donations are tax deductible, and although we have a wish list, we will take just about anything, nothing is too big or too small!

We hope to see you all there
