This will be FCC's 3rd year of participation. In addition to doing the prep work and painting of our assigned house, we will also need volunteers to help provide foods & beverage, gather needed supplies, clean up, etc. You can contact Gene Splinter, Larry Schulze, and Tom Billigmeier who will be planning and organizing the various teams needed for another successful project that will not only impact the lives of the homeowner and his/her neighbors, but each of the volunteers as well. More information and sign up opportunities will be available at FCC in the next couple weeks.
