Monday!

Three crews were out working in Union Beach, Manahawkin, and Pt. Pleasant today.

The Pt. Pleasant Crew(Mike Stevenus, Janine Strohm, Alisha Strohm, June Strohm, Al Fritz, & Donna Pryor) worked at the home of a women we met at a community dinner one year ago.  One of our members(Natalie Jaworskyj) encouraged her at that time to get on board with disaster related help.  We were surprised to find out the connection was made and we are part of her rebuild.   You'll hear more of her story in the coming days.  Today they worked on some fence rebuild, drywall, clean-up, and building up some trust so that more work can be done this week.  Surprise!  She and her 10 year old son showed up to eat dinner with us!  God does work mysteriously.

The Manahawkin Crew (Cindy Boyer, Don Becker, Bill Rankin, Connie McElhinny, & David Larimer)  drove nearly 90 minutes to their site to work on decking and rails on all the outside staircases.  The house they are working on needed to be raised up and all these decks are a result of the build-up.   Tuesday will find them working feverishly to beat the rain storms heading our way on Thursday.

The Union Beach Crew (Jim Potter, Mike & Tammy Dunnivan, Ann Himes, Natalie Jaworskyj, Lisa & Gary Lyon) worked at the home of a nurse whose first floor has been vacated at ground level so that she can qualify for rebuild dollars.  Instead of raising the house up, she chose to add on two levels above.   This crew painted all day.  Approximately 12 Gallons of paint were used on the two levels.  An entire day of painting is on store for tomorrow followed by laminate flooring the last several days.

Tomorrow finds a new crew being added:  The Tom's River Crew (David Larimer, Ann Himes, June Strohm, & Donna Pryor).   They will begin a siding project.

Still having problems with the router at this end which is preventing us from putting up pictures.  Hope to solve it soon
