| Inside this issue:
From
Laurie McCaw, It's
hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us already! Rebuilding
Together is working hard to finish out the year and tidy up in preparation
for we call our "busy season" that begins immediately
following the holidays. We're finalizing our 2006 plans and hope
to reach high and far to help significantly more homeowners through
both Rebuilding Day projects, and our year round program "A
Home for All Seasons".

| Rebuilding After the Hurricanes |
Rebuilding Together's National Office, with the help of its 250 affiliates nationwide and Countrywide Financial Corporation has launched "Rebuild 1000!", a year-long project to rebuild 1,000 homes in the hurricane-ravaged Gulf area. This project will involve 25,000 volunteers and deliver well over $10 million in market value work. You can get involved! Volunteer now to be on the RTMD team. Click here to fill out a volunteer application. Rebuilding Together Metro Denver expects to participate in Rebuild 1000! by sending one or more teams of volunteers to New Orleans or Gulfport to help with this project. We will especially need skilled people such as roofers, carpenters, plumbers and electricians, but as in all Rebuilding Together projects, there is plenty of work for all skill levels. The teams will stay about a week. We'll know more about the exact work scope, transportation and living arrangements as the project gets closer, but if you think you might be interested and able to help, please fill out an application now. We'll stay in touch as the projects develop and we finalize plans to help. For more information on this project click here. |
