FW: blog

 

Here we are after a great day at our Restore..where we are working to help raise support..to raise more homes..volunteers from Thornton Donovon, Yonkers, New Rochelle, Iona Prep and more working..as well at our warehouse..

we also are working on our sites today...working away making sure that we have everything we need to finish our homes at the site, to find land for new homes...and to celebrate the spirit of volunteerism, with advocacy going on...

 

However we started the morning with the most important endeavor, a training on increasing local project commiittees in the county...representatives from Ossining, Yonkers, Larchmont,Mamoroneck, New Rochelle, and White Plains, along with Rye brook were represented...how do we have leaders who create teams across the county, passionate about habitat and advocacy and seeing people get into homes in the county.. an exciting endeavor and challenge for sure...

 

But with this our 20th anniversary, we are so happy to see so many commitees exploding, so many wanting to help so many ready to start.....

this is vital to our success..for sure...vital to what we are doing to make it work for the future, to make sure that we will make it happen...and have it unacceptable for anyone to go to bed at nite in substandard housing in the richest county in the world...

COMMITTEES THAT EXIST ARE WHITE PLAINS, YONKERS, NEW ROCHELLE, OSSINING, PEEKSKILL,

PORTCHESTER, MT VERNON, GREENBURGH, ARMONK, BEDFORD, ARMONK AND MORE...

some are stronger than others, and all need to constantly have great people like you help out and work on the committee with us...join us the Excitement is still Building!

 

Last I just got off the phone with Jack Meskunis who is working with us for the Harley Davidson Event, working to move ahead, to help us raise money for our local New Rochelle projects, with an event Feb 16th...

this coming Sat...a fun casino nite, this helps go right to our local new rochelle projects...on Lincoln Avenue.

Jack thank you and Denise..come and join us...

God bless, jjk
