split into 2 groups, The A team (for the ants they had to avoid) and the B team (for the honey bee hive under the home for their project).The A team worked on replacing a fence for Linda whose neighbors have pit bull dogs and she does not feel safe in her own backyard. The A team also worked on tearing off and replacing plywood, and shingles on the roof at Edith's home. The B Team was occupied with tearing off siding, replacing backboard with plywood and installing vinyl siding on a double wide mobile home for Penny's. This group also had to replace some rotten wood on the framing prior to replacing the siding, they also replaced some damaged drywall inside the house. This group worked for the entire week and CREW hosted a BBQ luncheon for them to show our appreciation on Friday, November 16. One of the volunteers from this group stayed until Wednesday, November 21st to assist with another client who was in need of having damaged cabinets removed and replaced. When the damaged cabinets were removed we discovered that the flooring underneath needed to be replaced as well. The volunteer worked at Minnerva's Saturday the 17th through Tuesday the 20th replacing the flooring and cabinets. He then returned to Penny's home to complete the drywall repairs inside her home.We received a donation from United Way/211 of an electric stove to replace the broken one at Minerva's home for an In-Kind value of $150.00. We also received a cash donation of $80.00 and an In- kind donation of some fencing material in the amount of $148.00 from Manassas St. Thomas United Methodist Church. We also had our LTRO meeting on November 14, 2007 where we had 3 of our members who are volunteers donate an hour of their time. Total volunteer hours donated: 938, Total In Kind donations: $17587.50
