Thank you for the opportunity to experience a Join Hands Day Event!

The new blinds at Haddington Group Home look wonderful and the residents are thrilled! We were also able to purchase some additional chairs to go around the dining room table so that the staff people are not able to eat meals with the six residents. This is good because they are able to demonstrate proper eating habits and manners during the meals.

In addition, this project inspired several of the people helping. In all, donations to the Group home finally totaled $1500. This included a new dining table and 4 new chairs, a couch, a chair, 2 end tables, 2 coffee tables, a set of dishes and a lamp.

The second project, Communidad de Gracia Community Event. Rev. Steve Sohns was in charge of the project.

Thursday, May 4th. A dozen+ people went down to CDG to fix up what has already been done with termite control. We were blessed to receive a discount on chemicals from a $6000 cost to $1500. We pulled the money together for that. We prepared CDG, buffing floors, etc. to get the place ready.

May 5-7 - Team of 32 went down for the whole weekend. Others showed up on the 6th for the community Fiesta that we held there. We want to pump up CDG in the local community. Our team will worshipped at CDG on Sunday morning. Funds were used for t-shirts for the team, t-shirts for our staff, food, prizes, games, team cost, and anything else you can imagine for the weekend.

Pictures from both events will be added soon.

Sincerely,

Susan Giesecke
