Habitat news for June 26, 2010:
Response to tool theft overwhelming!
The contributions are still being tallied!
Right now, too many to list. You probably heard that all the tools were stolen from North Augusta Habitat’s trailer - BUT (lemons to lemonade?) ....thanks to Fox54, Channel 6, Channel 12. The Augusta Chronicle, North Augusta Star, and Clear Channel Radio, (I am sure I missed someone – forgive me), local businesses and individuals have stepped up to the plate and restored our ability to operate, AND THEN SOME. (For example, Savannah River Nuclear Solutions made a contribution equal to all that was lost!) The contributions are still being tallied, and we will recognize all who contributed.
Whew! It is really touching to see the community step up like this and turn a possible setback into a leap forward for Habitat for Humanity of North Augusta! More soon on the inspiring results… Thank you, Thank you, Thank you…
In the meantime, work goes on without a hitch - WALMART and PF Changs are scheduled to volunteer this Saturday (today, June 26, 2010). Work will include painting the first coat on the foundation, clearing the lot and hauling debris to the curb and organizing construction material.
That's 1120 Austin, near the North Augusta Middle School, 8 am to just past noon, with a wonderful lunch for volunteers...
Take care
