Mississippi Recruiting

Three or four of us from Tenth Presbyterian are heading to Biloxi, Mississippi on (or after) May 27 to complete repairs to a hurricane-damaged home there so that the owners can move back in. Our primary task will be installing siding on the house, but we may also hang doors, install baseboard and window sills, etc. There are countless damaged homes in the area, so we may work on another home as well.

We are strongly seeking additional volunteers to join us, as I would like to have more of a team to embark on this trip. Since Tenth is giving a portion of the Easter Sacrificial Offering to Katrina relief efforts in Biloxi, it would be good to send a "live" offering there as well as a monetary one. Having some construction experience is valuable, but is not necessary. If you have any interest in joining us on this trip, or know someone who may, please call Tom Witmer at 215.546.0369 ASAP. Airline tickets need to be ordered quickly (no later than May 12) to obtain a reasonable fare.
