THis Week’s Program
This week’s speakers
were Pamela Thorsch, Everlena McNelty, David Dawson and Maureen Eberle on the Rebuilding Together charity. Our Club’s project is to perform our
version of Extreme Home Makeover on
Ms. McNelty's house on April 23. Our
program is to rebuild her home in one day, similar to the TV show, but without
the major construction. In addition to
your time and building expertise on 4/23, we need carpet (1200sq. ft.),
linoleum (350sq. ft.) home furnishings (i.e; drapes, blinds, sofas, chairs
dinning room tables, etc.) and anything that you might not want anymore.
Everlena McNelty was born in the 1930’s on a cotton farm. She worked long days picking cotton until her hands hurt. She also worked caring for white people’s children. She has so many stories about what life was like back then, and all the abuses they went through. She was not able to go to school because they said she was slow. Actually she was dyslexic so never learned to read. At 14 she married and had her first child at the age of 15. She now has 4 children, 8 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. Her husband left her with nothing after 50 years of marriage. At age of 70, she heard an advertisement on the television about literacy. So she called them up, got a volunteer, and learned how to read. She truly is an inspiration! She now has a foster child, about 5 years old living with her, whose mother was a drug addict.
For more information on how to either donate items or to
volunteer for the event, please contact Maureen or Dave, or contact Pamela
