Phyllis Anderson had a praise:  Don's nephew is a Research Scientist and had the opportunity to check out our houses and was very impressed & touted the end result of our volunteer's work.

Cari's provided our volunteers a most wonderful lunch of hamburger steak with gravy, corn and mashed potatoes, bread and a unique dessert that everyone enjoyed.  We all cleaned our plates!  Thank you Joe & Cari & we especially enjoyed your Blessing, Joe.
