Work Day This Saturday.....and Jason's rescheduled

WHEN: Saturday, May 1 at 8:00am (meet at worksite - 7315 Westover Street, Houston, TX 77087), finish and eat lunch around noon. 

For the month of May we are moving our service day up one week to this coming Saturday (May 1). For a change of pace, we will all work together at the same location and the folks we are helping will make us lunch with homemade ice cream! You don’t want to miss this one!

The project consists of yard work and minor home repairs at the Presbyterian Service Center. According to the CLPC web site, it is: “Nestled on a 5.5 acre tract near Hobby Airport are 15 resident units known as Boyd’s Acres Presbyterian Service Center. This non-profit project provides low cost housing to the disabled and elderly at about one-third of market price.” The residents there (including CLPC member Georga Thomas) are a great group of folks who do what they can to keep up their properties but need our help with some items beyond their abilities. Below is more information about this project along with what you might want to bring. As always, no special skills are needed and I will have extra equipment available, so just come ready to help and bring those young men along too! If you need to contact me please call my cell at 281-797-4667  Thanks- Lee
