>>> As you can see below, something wonderful is brewing! Mark your calendar -
>>>April 8 - at Operation Breakthrough 12:00 noon (800 N. Mangum Street)
>>>
>>>In short, we need your great minds, willing hands, and your network of other
>>>like-minded individuals.
>>>
>>> Low income homeowners in Durham-including senior citizens and the
>>>disabled--wait an average of three years for minor home repairs; many
>>>require financial assistance to keep from freezing each winter. Ironically,
>>>some of these families might not even need that assistance if they could
>>>afford to weatherize their homes.
>>>
>>>Six non-profit agencies serving Durham-Clean Energy Durham, The Durham
>>>Affordable Housing Coalition, Durham Community Land Trustees, Habitat for Humanity of Durham, Operation
>>>Breakthrough, and Rebuilding Together-have come together to create "The
>>>Durham Weatherization Team," a group of volunteers with specialized training
>>>who will make the homes of lower income Durham families warmer in the winter
>>>and less expensive to operate while helping their community make more
>>>efficient use of its energy resources.
>>>
>>>We need your help in identifying individuals with construction or home
>>>repair experience who would be willing to lead weatherization projects on at
>>>least two Saturdays between now and June 30th. 
>>>
>>>We'll have a Weatherization Team Leader Training for Saturday, April 8th
>>>from 12 noon to 5 p.m. This session will equip them to lead a small crew of
>>>volunteers as they weatherize a home.
>>>
>>>We have the plan, we have the materials, all we need now is to get the word
>>>out.
>>>
>>>PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO OTHER COMMUNITY LEADERS AND VOLUNTEERS
>>>
>>>Rebuilding Together of the Triangle will be the coordinating agency. Please
>>>have your church, civic group, or non-profit contact:

>>>
>>> p.s. We hope your organization will consider joining us the morning of
>>>Saturday June 17 for our first major home repair and weatherization event.
>>>Volunteers from churches, corporations, community organizations, service
>>>clubs, and neighborhood associations will attempt to repair and weatherize
>>>30 homes on that day and during the following week. Come on out and make new
>>>friends, and bring much needed help to some very appreciative neighbors!
