I love volunteering!!!

Ok so I just got back from touring homes in Lake City, SC that we'll be working on this year the week of June 30th to July 7th through Salkehatchie Summer Service.  We looked at about 18 houses and had to narrow it down to 10 or 11, depending on how many adults we get to sign up this year.  After taking a few years off from working on Moore Street, I'm back.

The house I selected is in pretty bad shape and there's a lot to be done. This is my hood.  I love these people!  They rock and they love to see us come into their community and help them out.  I'll admit, I know the home we'll be working on is a challenge but it's definitely something that can be done in a week with the right people and some dedicated volunteers!  I'm already planning on making at least 1 more trip to take measurements and meet with the homeowner before we begin work.  Last year I wasn't able to be quite as organized as I would have liked but this year, it's on!  More photos to come of this home but here are some photos from last year's group!











Those old guys...such goof balls!


So after meeting for Salkehatchie, I was reminded about the River Sweep that I started last year on the Edisto River....it's September 15th, 2012 this year!  More info on that to come soon!
