I'm leading a group of 12 volunteers the week of 10/19-25 to work on a Habitat for Humanity project facilitated by the St. Charles Ave. Presby Church's RHINO PROJECT (Rebuilding Hope In New Orleans). Would the group consider a contribution to this worthy cause. Let me know what you think, thanks, Marie.

Families are still scattered across the nation, struggling to find the means to return home and rebuild. The horrors of Katrina that once dominated news stories across the globe are still playing out in New Orleans, though they have faded from mainstream media coverage. Rumor has it that the work in New Orleans is almost done, yet those who love this place know the work has only begun. RHINO would like you to join us on a new project as we continue rebuilding hope: �Project Renew Green Street.� As the fourth season of RHINO commences, we rejoice with the 11 new homeowners who now reside on Ferry Place. We marvel at how God has worked through our ministry and the faithful volunteers who support it, and we are sobered by the reality of increasing need in our community. Even as private developers rebuild homes near Ferry Place, long-time neighborhood residents struggle to maintain dilapidated homes. RHINO has had a transformative influence on Ferry Place, but we do not want to stop there. We believe a targeted approach that focuses attention and resources on a designated area is the most effective strategy for serving the community. With this in mind, we are working with Habitat to develop a new build site six blocks north of Ferry Place. Habitat owns 3 pieces of adjoining property on Green Street that have the potential to become 3 new homes. Full sponsorship of a house in New Orleans is $85,000. To make Project Renew Green Street happen, we need to raise $255,000. St Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church has been so moved by the indefatigable spirit of our volunteers and their continued support that we would like to begin the project by utilizing currently available RHINO funds of $85,000 to build one house. In order to build the other two houses, we need to raise $170, 000. We hope to reach this goal by June 30, 2010. (Any additional funds raised will go toward future projects.) Volunteers are the life and blood of our ministry, and we are asking you to help us raise these funds. Whether it is a special offering from your church, a tax-deductible donation from your employer, or donations individually raised through a letter writing campaign, we hope you will join us in supporting Project Renew Green Street. Checks should be made payable to �SCAPC� and should distinguish �RHINO/Green St� in the memo line or make a donation online. All donations will be acknowledged by a letter with tax i.d. information. We hope you are as excited about this new opportunity as we are and will heartily join us as we seek to help three families achieve their dreams of homeownership. Still charging ahead, Dr Don Frampton Katherine S Snider SCAPC Senior Pastor RHINO Program Manager 1545 State Street New Orleans, LA 70118 (504) 897-0101 x111 (504) 897-0105 FAX kate@xxxxxxxxx www.scapc.org =
