Thank you all for posting information about the Catholic House project and the demolition day on January 28 – 29th! I've been getting lots of calls from volunteers, so I know you have been getting the word out! I've attached the flier and inserts if you didn't receive them or need more. Please continue to promote the day. I'll pass out information about the kick-off at the upcoming meeting. (see below)
I was out at a demolition site this weekend – and it is very gratifying and exciting work – so please consider coming out.
Funding Update:
We have $22,500 pledged on the project – we are making great progress getting to the $35,000 cost to renovate. We now only need $12,500 to make this a full sponsorship. If your congregation hasn't submitted a pledge, please do so as soon as possible!
Please plan to attend a very important meeting on February 10th, at 7:30 pm, here at the Habitat office.
We'll be discussing:
Techniques to get your congregation excited about the project and recruit volunteers and lunch providers.
The scope of work for the project – and the draft build schedule.
We'll be assigning workdays to congregations. Please come prepared with a calendar and any specific dates you know that either your congregation is busy or a day they would especially like to meet. This is a crucial meeting so please send a representative from your congregation.
Please let me know if someone from your congregation can attend. Also feel free to invite a representative from a group in your congregation, such as the Knights of Columbus. We'd love to give them the opportunity to have a service day!
If no one from your congregation can attend, I would love to meet with someone from your parish. Please let me know ASAP to set up a time.
Thank you, and see you on the 3rd of February!
