Thanks to all our congregation for meeting our Thrivent Builds fundraising goal of $2000 for 2009. The Blodgett Ave home in Downey was started in mid July and the Monroy family was able to move in before Christmas. Our congregation provided volunteer and lunch support on August 8 and September 19 partnering again with Trinity Manhattan Beach and First Lutheran Manhattan Beach. The 2010 Thrivent Builds project will be at 15th St. and Henderson Av. in Long Beach and there will be several units on the lot supported by different community organizations. The Thrivent Builds home is currently anticipated to start construction in early August with a planned completion in @ late December. Betty Coreas and her two children will be the new homeowner family. Our congregation fundraising commitment for 2010 is $1200 and as of July 2010 we have already met our fundraising goal. THANK YOU!!. The dates of July 31 and November 13 have been reserved for TLC volunteer days. We encourage volunteers who are available to come out on additional Saturdays, and during the week to sign up at http://www.habitatla.org/volunteer.asp and click on the Volunteer button. We will need many Lutheran and Thrivent member hours logged in at the construction site before the congregations’ commitment can be completed. Thank you again for your wonderful support! Please contact me, Bob Johnson, if you have any questions. There are new forms to be filled out before volunteering at a new site.
