Good afternoon. I hope you're all having a great week.
I'm writing to give you a heads-up about big Habitat activity happening in Richmond this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (in addition to the Linden St and Washington Ave builds), just in case you're out and about and have a moment to stop by and say "thank you."
This will be at Westside Christian Church (1432 Fairlane Drive). This is the church that is donating the materials and building the walls for our next homeowner (assuming they choose that floor plan.... We think it will be Ms. Stone and her two little girls who will build with us, likely on Flint Road). The church has done this for us before, through Crossroads Mission.
On Friday they'll have the lumber delivered to the church and make all the cuts. On Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. until about 3 p.m. they'll build the walls and stand them up so it looks like a house. On Sunday after church they'll load up all the walls (with the help of Terry and the volunteers Wendy has scheduled) and move them to our warehouse where they will wait to be part of someone's home.
From what I understand, we've had only minimal communication with these folks when they've donated and volunteered with us before, so it would be great if they knew we were aware of their work and felt more connected with us and the families we all serve.
I will stop by over the weekend to talk with Pastor Mike Simpson (I finally got to meet him today) and make sure they know we appreciate their huge donation of lumber/materials and their efforts. If you're out and about and feel inclined to do the same, I know they'd appreciate it. If not this weekend, please say thanks if you run across any of their folks in the future.
Thank you for all you do for Habitat!
Best,
Judy |
