WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO??

Our Mission is to assist The Victims in Sargent and Cedar Lake areas. We will leave Shepherd of the Hills Parking Lot at 12:00 Noon October 20, 2004, so we can caravan to the work sites. If you cannot come Wednesday, you can come Thursday, Friday and/or Saturday returning Sunday.

Where will we be working?

The first project is to repair a leaking roof, replace a sheetrock living room ceiling and install some siding on a 80 year old lady's home in nearby Cedar Lake.. The second project is to replace about 12 bundles of roof shingles, repair some siding, and replace some windows on an 80 year old lady's home in Sargent

For those coming in Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, we will meet at the Woods BBQ on the left side of FM 534 at the Caution light in Sargent. We will meet there each morning at 8:00 A.M. May 21 ,22, and 23, 2004. Those of us on the advance party will survey the work to be done and make sure all materials are in place for the arrival of the main groups on October 21, 22, and 23.
