New Spring Project: Roanoke Habitat for Humanity

Because Greater Charlottesville Habitat had an opportunity to become an even "greener" project, they were experiencing delays in obtaining necessary permits, and they could not guarantee that we would be able to help with construction on our agreed upon dates. So now we are going to Roanoke, VA, and working the same weeks for the local Habitat for Humanity project there -- March 28th to April 1st; April 4th - 8th.

Our hosts will be the Campbell Memorial Presbyterian Church, 1130 Church Road, Vinton, VA, 24179 (just east of Roanoke). Their new minister, Rev. James (Jamie) Smith has been on the job about three weeks. Church phone: (540) 343-1842.

Roanoke YMCA will be providing a place for showering, 520 Church Avenue South West Roanoke, 24016. There will be a small cost to non-YMCA members, but they do provide towels. The YMCA phone: (540) 342-9622.

George and Joanne will be back in the kitchen, and we will be assessing ourselves the usual $50 a week for food. We are expecting great things from them, because they will be working in a fairly new kitchen. Please send JoEllen your food money as soon as you can.
