Letter from Habitat for Humanity International National Service
Dear
Build-a-Thon
participants,
Welcome
to Cedar
Rapids for
the 2010
Habitat for
Humanity
AmeriCorps
Build-a-Thon!
From all
over the
United
States,
Habitat for
Humanity
AmeriCorps
members,
staff, and
volunteers
are
gathering in
Cedar Rapids
for the
second year
in a row to
build on the
success of
the 2009
Build-a-Thon.
We
accomplished
great things
last year:
20 families
into 20 new
homes.
But the need
is great and
there is
more to be
done.
This week
through your
service, you
will build
hope and
houses in
communities
ravaged by
flood waters
two years
ago.
On behalf
of habitat
for
Humanity, I
am grateful
for you
commitment
and passion
that is
making a
difference
in
communities
across the
country.
I am
inspired
personally
by your
service and
look forward
to the
opportunity
to be with
so many
AmeriCorps
members in
one place.
We hope your
time at
Build-a-Thon
is rewarding
and
memorable.
Thank
you!
Peter
Rumsey, Jr.
Director,
National
Service
