A volunteer who wishes to remain anonomys,has offered a challenge to
all our volunteers

"I want to thank you for such an enjoyable time building on the North
Road project in Bedford.  I knew that I was doing a good deed when I
signed up for the build, but I didn't know how much fun, and good
feeling I would receive.  I was able to meet two of your families and
see how much a home meet to them.  It made me think more about my own
family and my home.
This holiday was a little more special because of it.  So thank you.

Now my challenge to all volunteers.  I will match all contibutions
from volunteers, recieved between now and the end of the year.  I ask
each one to think about what the day has meant to them.  While I hope
it was priceless, wouldn't a $15 or $25 contibution help at least pay
for the coffee and lunch you got?  So I challenge each person that
worked and had a good time to think about a small thank you
contribution and I will match it."

If all the volunteers this past year gave a $15 contibution we could
dig and pour the next foundation this spring and give more
opportunities to make a change in the world. We thank our
volunteer/donor and ask you to consider what the day meant to you.

Remember your $15 contribution becomes $30 - a $25 contribution becomes $50.

You can donate on line by going to our website www.lowellhabitat.org
and donate on line.  Thank you for your time and your treasure.
Families are home for the holiday because of you.

Jim Comeau
Your friendly Construction Manager.
