VOLUNTEER TO HELP RENOVATE HOMES TO GIVE TO DESERVING VETERANS
Our Next Mission completed all of the hurricane repairs in the past couple of weeks for units ONM has renovated over the past few years. The leadership team met earlier with the CEO of Habitat for Humanity, which is getting two or three homes returned to them. One needs extensive repairs, but the other two need painting, cleaning, flooring and some cabinetry work. The estimated time frame is 30 to 45 days on these. ONM offered to help.
The owner is giving ONM a home they own on Lot 63 in Pescara Lakes, 570 57th Ave. W., Bradenton, where ONM has worked the past few years. The home suffered some hurricane damage, but has "solid bones" and will become a veteran's new home. We will be working there Nov 14 17 We have replaced the flooring This week, we will start framing out the bathroom walls to prep for plumbing We have ordered the air conditioning and all materials to replace the carport
If you would like a little exercise and fellowship, please join us Every skill level is needed and appreciated!
The Annual Veterans Day Gala sponsored by ONM on Nov. 11 at the IMG Academy Golf Club was a success. Lakewood Ranch Rotarian Russ Sexton was our MC; the club was an event sponsor, and Dorothy Bodenburg also attended. The theme was “Volunteers Our Unsung Heroes.”
If you would like to participate in these efforts onsite work or ramp installation contact Lakewood Ranch Rotarian Terry Byce (terry byce@verizon net or 703 627 7765) or Greg Kisella (text 850 585 1698 or gkiselaonm@gmail com) Bob Feller, who spoke to our club in June, is still actively involved
