You will know that Martin is there if the white Rebuilding Togehter van and trailer are there.  If he is not there, he may be at the warehouse,

1107 E. Main Street cutting carpet. You can call his cell phone 744-3903 to find out where he is.

Hi volunteers,

We did make progress today on our subfloor.  If you are thinking of working on Friday January 2oth please call Martin Brown.  When he is working depends on the snow and the contractors lunch meeting.  He also may be driving his own truck rather than the Chevy and trailer, which does not stop very well in snow.

Friday January 20 starting

at 9 am we are working at 1605 E. Butler St.  From the Ball State area go east on Centennial to ML King (formerly Broadway), go south 3 blocks, turn east on Butler Street.  We are working on subflooring. 

Friday there will be a long lunch hour 11:30 am to 1:30 pm because of a contractors lunch meeting.

Thank you for helping this family.

Hi volunteers,

As we are getting ready for Christmas, we are done with outdoor projects.  We did complete 11 wheel chair ramps this year. Most of them were 30 to 50 feet long.

We are now checking out future projects.

Our schedule this week is:

Thursday December 22 STARTING AT 9:30 AM Martin is working at our warehouse at 1107 E. Main Street.  Park in the west parking lot.  He probably needs 2 helpers to sort lumber etc.  Please give him a call if you can help.

Have a Merry Christmas!

Thank you for helping our families.

Hi volunteers,

I hope that you all had a good Thanksgiving.  There is one more wheel chair ramp that we wish to build this year.

Our schedule is:

Wednesday November 30 we will work in the warehouse at 1107 E. Main Street starting at 9 am.  Park on the west side of the building.  We will be sorting lumber and cutting parts for the ramp.  The warehouse is about 45 degrees, but there is no wind.  Dress accordingly.  You may bring your lunch.  We have a refrigerator and microwave oven.

Thursday December 1 and Friday December 2 STARTING AT 11 AM (due to the weather) we will be building a ramp at 2117 W. Main Street. This is east of St. Mary Catholic Church. WE WILL BE WORKING IN THE BACK YARD WHERE WE CAN NOT BE SEEN FROM THE STREET.  You may park your car on the street in front of the house and walk around to the alley.  It may be very chilly, dress in layers.

Saturday December 3 a group of BSU students have reserved an indoor project.  If you are a student needing hours for a class, please call me to find out about this.

Thank you for helping Rebuilding Together help these families.
