[Habitat_gb] Building Event in Jersey City - 4/18/2009

[Erica Mondadori]

Hi everybody! I know it is short notice but the company I work for
(Honeywell) does something called Rebuilding Together and they have an
event this weekend. It's kind of like Habitat except they rebuild
homes for the less fortunate instead of new ones. Please see the
details for the event below. Because it is this Saturday I would need
to know who is coming by tomorrow (Thursday) night at 8pm so I can
give them a headcount.

One last thought I forgot to add…



You may want to bring a small stool or knee pads for ease/comfort when
painting lower areas.

Hello Volunteers,



Thanks again for volunteering for the Honeywell Morristown Employees’
Club Rebuilding Together project in Jersey City on Saturday, April 18.
 We wanted to send one last reminder to the group about Saturday’s
event.



Honeywell will have two groups at the Jersey City Rebuilding Together
event.  Our group is the Honeywell Morristown Employees’ Club working
on the York Street Project at 81-89 York Street.  Leigh Robinson and I
are the House Captain and Supply Captain and we will be your main
points of contact through the day.



A few more reminders:

Please be at St. Patrick’s School (509 Bramhall Avenue) by 7:00 am on
Saturday, April 18th for registration
Breakfast will be served at St. Pat’s during registration.  All
Rebuilding Together Jersey City volunteers will be there so it should
be fun to see that you are part of a much larger effort.
Parking Spaces are extremely limited – please consider carpooling
Lunch will be provided at the sites.
Beverages and snacks will be provided at the sites throughout the day.
Plan on being at your site until 5:00pm.  In some cases, the work is
completed earlier, and in others, later.
When the day is done, you are invited to return to St. Pat’s for a
well deserved dinner with all of the other volunteers.  It will be a
great opportunity to exchange stories, meet new people and celebrate
the success of the day.
If you have any special dietary or medical needs, it is your
responsibility to ensure that they are met.
Do not bring valuables with you.  They will be your responsibility.
Most of you will be working outside and the weather looks like it will
be sunny, bring suntan lotion!
Be Neat – take pride in not only your work but the good work this
organization has done for many years.
Lastly, HAVE FUN!!!!!



There is a side effort to collect canned goods for the local food bank
this year initiated by the granddaughter of one of the organizers –
please bring a donation with you if at all possible.



Below is our most current volunteer list.  Each volunteer will receive
a t-shirt and hat on Saturday.  Thank you in advance for participating
in this great event.  Please email or call with any questions.

Hello Volunteers,



Thank you for volunteering for the Honeywell Morristown Employees’
Club Rebuilding Together project in Jersey City on Saturday, April 18.
 Below is some information to prepare you for the upcoming volunteer
event.



Parking at the volunteer site is better than in the past but any
ability you have to carpool would be beneficial.



Our volunteer day will begin with registration, a kick-off meeting and
breakfast at the St. Patrick Church at 509 Bramhall Avenue in Jersey
City at 7am.  From there, we will go to our volunteer site for the
remainder of the day; until about 5pm. (Lunch will be provided).  Our
Rebuilding Together project this year is at the York Street Project
(www.yorkstreetproject.org) located at 89 York Street Ave in Jersey
City.  We will have a variety of activities including cleaning,
painting, yard work and more.  Around 5pm, we will return to the
church for a Bar-B-Q held for all volunteers before leaving for the
day.



Regarding attire, please wear old, comfortable clothes that you are
willing to get dirty.  We will provide each volunteer with a Honeywell
t-shirt and baseball cap prior to the event which we hope you will
wear on the volunteer day.



If you have any questions regarding the event, please contact Tim
Metcalf or Leigh Robinson.



This is a VERY large effort and we can use all the help we can get,
particularly if we have cooperative weather.



Please let us know ASAP if you are no longer able to participate.



Thank you again for volunteering and we look forward to a fun and
productive event!
