This was an exceptionally long day for a Habitat roof with volunteers putting in over 9 hours on average that day. The next day PJ Albro, Bill Dennis, Jim Heffner, Rick Huston, Jake Jacobs, and Tim Learnard roofed the shed.
A special thanks to Jim and Mary Bunch for providing the food on Friday; Habitat’s Tom Brown, Robert Girardeau, Donna Godbee, and Ron Patterson for setting the roof up and coordinating and supervising the roofing effort; Judy Sennett for coordinating with Women’s Build volunteers; and last, but certainly not least, Steve Phillips and Marley Bruns for providing the transportation and long term storage facilities that enable LATCH to continue its roofing ministry.
