Habitat Update

The CCC-Habit home build is still on schedule. It is located at 1338 Grand Blvd, Aurora. We are continuing to build every Thursday and Saturday through mid July.
Build Schedule: Last week we installed the tub, completed the insulation work, and built the front and back porches. We are now working on putting Tyvek on the house while we put in all new windows. Next we will be doing the drywalling and then the painting.
Furnishing the home: Also, we would like to gather as much gently used furniture as we can for this home. We especially need 3 full size beds, bedroom furniture, lawnmower, and family room furniture. Are you someone that would like to head up that part of this life changing time for this family? We are looking for someone that is interested in leading this part.
If you would like to work at the house on Thursdays or Saturdays please contact Ron Kelso by email at RonKelso@sbcglobal.net. You need to sign up in advance to volunteer.


Sponsor a Brady Student with School Supplies!

We are trying a new approach to providing school supplies to Brady students this fall. Instead of getting a long list of supplies that you need to go out and buy and try to cram into a paper bag, all you have to do is tell us you would like to sponsor a child (or two or three) and we pre-order supply kits. We will still sell them for a fraction of the cost to Brady parents, so the school will earn money as they have in the past.
It is our goal to get at least 300 Brady students sponsored this year (half of the school). We have 60 sponsored already! For $25 you can sponsor a child who will then get all the supplies they need to be prepared at school. For those of you who have purchased supplies in the past, you know that is a great bargain compared to the $40 - $50 some of the grade level kits cost if you buy all the items individually.
If you'd like to sponsor any children, just email Ron Kelso at ronkelso@sbcglobal.net and he will tell you exactly what to do. In the fall, you will receive the name(s) of the children you have sponsored so you can write them a back to school greeting.
