Our volunteers return

Rich and Debbie returned from WorkFest today satisfied and proud, yet sore and tired to say the least. Debbie said, and I quote, "I think next time we'll have to send some of our younger employees down." I'd say the college kids won, but Debbie made it very clear that they made a great match for the day - had it been a week like the rest of them, that might have been a different story. (I won't mess with a woman that handy with a shovel.)

Debbie spent her day building a deck, while Rich was apparently the day's hero in aiding with the completion of a home's roof before a storm rolled through. Larry, a construction crew volunteer, said that if it wasn't for Rich lifting those heavy wooden frames (shown above) onto the roof all day, they never would have finished in time.

Way to go Debbie and Rich; you've made us proud! Videos of WorkFest, along with other efforts put forth by the Christian Appalachian Project can be viewed here.
