Events"As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them back into the sea. Finally catching up with the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun. "But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish," countered the other, "How can your effort make any difference?" The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it to safety in the waves, "It makes a difference to this one, he said." Habitat make a difference, one family at a time. Today, over one million people live in Habitat homes.
Saturday - 8:30 to noon - or so. We will finish removing lumber from Kimball Self Storage (Manchester Valley Road off 7A in Manchester). This lumber, suitable for framing and sheathing the walls and roof, will be used on the West Rupert home. Call 325-6530 with questions. Week of May 5th to May 10th Wednesday we will put the plates on the foundation wall, will set the girders, and then will attach the floor joists. Once the joinsts are in place, we will nail the decking. Saturday we will continue work on the decking and will begin to build the exterior walls.
