Saturday July 28th: Paul Bunyan Day
 
by Ellen Willcox, Build Volunteer Manager
(217-359-0507 x110 or house@cuhabitat.org)


Saturday the 28th was a day where we did “a little bit of this and a little bit of that”. Volunteers finished up the odds and ends that needed to be done before the dry-wallers came to work during the week.

Do any of you who have been on site remember the huge back yard jungle that both homes had? The last 30 plus feet at the back of the lots was just a complete overgrown, tree filled, trash filled mess. Herman Reddick presided over a wood chipper and volunteers dragged brush, cut down small trees and worked for hours. Most of the debris has now been reduced to a huge mountain of wood chips.

Zina Allen and Maria and Claudia Dominguez worked tirelessly and were so excited as the size of their yard became clear. Our volunteers discovered a bike, metal bars and a back fence that no one had ever seen.

Thank you to Christina and Jon Bell, John Chatfield, Tom Chen, Rachel Cherry, Ron and Donna Courtright, Jeff Green, Brian Hudson, Andrew and Brian Lovdahl, Kathie and Tim McMaster, Elder Dave Milner, Eric Sheu, Caroline Sholem, and Elder Kip Wardell.

A very special thanks to Beverly and George Kieffer. Our scheduled lunch volunteers had a last minute conflict and they stepped up to feed our volunteers.

Today we will be working on the porches. 2,167 volunteer hours have been invested by YOU in our homes. Fantastic!
