Womenbuild Saturdays
4th Saturday of each month at Garfield is WB Saturday - designed to encourage more women volunteers at the construction site. Since we were busy dedicating the first home this past Saturday - we rolled WB Saturday to JULY 31ST (for this month only!). This Saturday - July 31st - with a plan to finish hardiplank and work on porches. Womenbuild in August returns to the 4th Saturday - August 28th. Come help us shorten the "punch list" as Kelly and children prepare to move in!
