What can you do in 709 hours?

Come and see what you and other volunteers have done on 507 and 509 E. Bradley Avenue in Champaign. Good things come from all ages, all races, religions – from a bare spot on the ground two homes are rising!

We had a lot of help Saturday the 16th, working on the roofs and interior walls. Thank you to Dave Bagger for his labor and his kindness – he brings a cooler of ice and ice water to the site every Saturday. A special thank you to Sam Park and his crane – he spent the whole morning at the site and "raised our roof".

Thank you to Liz Abraham, Nilsa Alemanas, Jim Anderson, Brain Bole, Jan Brooks, Chris and John Chatfield, Rachel Cherry, Ron Cler, Ronda and Richard Craig, Stephanie Davidson, Jo Erickson, Henry Gerlach, Time Gilles, Briana Hatfield, Bob Hein, Brian Hudson, George Kieffer, Paul Loschak, Elder Dave Milner, Bennett Parkhurst, Marc Porter, Herman Riddick, Grace Schoedel, Eric Sheu, Lisa, Stahl, Arlene Torres, Charles and Claire Walworth, Aran and Suran Woo, and Elder Andrew York for their tireless labor in the very hot sun along side of our families – Zina Allen and Shayla Riddick, Maria and Serafin Dominguez.

Highlights of the day for me included watching Serafin helping Maria learn how to use a saw to build their own home. Herman Riddick, father of future home owner Shayla, tirelessly attached every roof truss to the crane.

Thank you to Norm Fisher and his wonderful photographs. Norm along with Julia Schmidt and Joan Wingo are responsible for all of the in church publicity and recruitment. Thank you to all the area Lutheran Churches for their support and their volunteers, to Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and the stations of the Illini Radio Group for their sponsorship.

One correction from last week – our most mature volunteer on site was 76 – not 70 as previously reported. Thank you, George!

Thank you everyone!
