Oct 24-31, 2009
Galveston, Texas
Sixteen people from 3 area churches, Sacramento, and Minnesota spent a week working on Hurricane Ike recovery. The work was sponsored by UMCOR and the Texas Disaster Recovery. We were blessed to have our two own dedicated cooks who prepared marvelous meals for us. Two teams of 7 each were assigned to two houses for the week. Those working on the Garcia house prepped the walls for painting and did electrical work. Those at the Hall house worked on bathroom plumbing and fixture installation and installed crown moulding. The Hall house was especially challenging since it was 2 circa 1900 shotgun houses joined together, with dips and bows in the walls and ceilings and with no square corners!

Build-a-Thon for Habitat for Humanity
April 18, 2009
Oakland, California
A group of 5 from Lynnewood were among over 300 volunteers taking part in the first day of a 4-day Habitat for Humanity Build-a-Thon. The task was to frame 20 2-story houses in 4 days! This effort, by the East Bay Habitat for Humanity, was the largest Habitat Build-a-Thon ever held in California. By the end of the first day, house 18, where the Lynnewood team worked with 6 other volunteers and 2 crew chiefs, was farthest along. Great job by our Lynnewood workers, Phil, Cynthia, Steve, Jim, and Jason!
