2026 FALL WORKDAY

Saturday

November 14 

9am-3pm 

Lunch Provided 

 

Dear Fellow Pohickians! 

 

 

It is that time of year again, albeit a few weeks behind schedule. Fall Workday is upon us tomorrow and we have lots to do! Please take time to review the attached Workday projects list. There are things on the list for folks of all talent/skill levels to tackle, though we do have a few more than usual requiring a certain level of skill. If you plan to come out to provide your support, please know it will be a bit chilly so…..dress accordingly. This is my last time as Workday Coordinator, so I want to thank each one of you who have supported both the Spring and Fall Workdays over these past years. I will still be around to finish up several projects I have started and will, of course, be here to support the new Sexton once they are onboard.

 

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

 

Respectfully,

 

Clint Herbert, Sexton
