*The sign-up form.<https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dFg4SjFMR0k3c3pmQ1ozbzdSejVYcmc6MQ>
Be sure to select attic airsealing, if that's what you'd like to do.  It
will be a serious effort, we'd love to get people interested in efficiency
retrofits as a possible career choice to help on this.*

You can also sign-up ahead for time for the June 26 Barnraising at the
Cambridge YWCA Family Shelter.*

We're going to take another crack at it.  It's at 3 Bigelow St., to the left
of Cambridge City Hall.  The introduction starts around 12:30, so check in
before that.  We'll work until 4, then have some food.  Parking is very
limited (and not available for people without a Cambridge sticker on a
Saturday), so please find alternate transportation.  The subway redline
stops at Central Square, three blocks East.  There will also be a separate
attic airsealing effort here, only this one will be a week ahead of time, on
the 19th.  When you sign up
here<https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dDBBdVFoZFVIb180QnI3a1ptQnlrbFE6MQ>,
again you can select attic airsealing, if that's job (and date) you'd like
to take part in.
