WONDERFUL WISHES FOR THE HOLIDAYS...A HOME, A FAMILY, FRIENDS
Dear SAD*SAC Friend,
All the volunteers, dogs, and cats of SAD*SAC send you their prayers for a holiday season full of joy, peace, and love. May all your wishes come true...
While you sit with your beloved pet, and touch their head as they snuggle against you, think for a moment of the many dogs and cats in need this day.
The holidays are always a time to reflect, to wish, to hope…SADSAC has struggled to save the sad, sweet pets that have come to us over the last year… the cries for help have been nonstop. We saved kittens that were tossed from bridges and cars, dogs abandoned to starve in foreclosed homes, tiny puppies chained to trees, and dozens of beloved house pets abruptly dumped out on the street. They are suddenly left to fend for themselves. They starve, become ill, or are subjected to unspeakable cruelty.
We all know that these poor dogs and cats can’t write or speak up for the help they need to survive. They look at you with eyes that say, “If I trust you, will you love and protect me?”…they wish, and we hope…hope that you will care about them.
It’s up to all of us who care to be there when they need us, and we are usually the last hope…everyone else has turned away. SAD*SAC, as your local no-kill rescue organization, has stood ready for over 12 years to help the unwanted, the sick, the young and the old. As long as a pet can have a good life without pain, we will give them the help they need while we look for the perfect forever home. But we can not do it without you…they need us both to live.
The gift you give today will help provide the care to once again be healthy and happy. You can give them the second chance they so deserve!!! Any gift will makes a difference…the price of a coffee can give them their Christmas wish…
“PLEASE GIVE ME MY LIFE FOR CHRISTMAS!”
Please send them a gift and take a moment today to
go to our website www.sadsac.rescuegroups.org and donate immediately with our PAYPAL button…to help them now!
SAD*SAC - SAVE A DOG*SAVE A CAT P.O. BOX 6221, LAKE WORTH, FL 33466 561-736-1313 e-mail: sadsacflorida@aol.com
COME VISIT US SATURDAYS 10 to 3 and SUNDAYS 11 to 3 AT THE PETsMART ON CONGRESS AVENUE IN BOYNTON BEACH YOU’VE SAVED THESE LIVES!!
“Strawberry”, a 4 month old kitten badly beaten and left to die… “Mama Dog”, pregnant, abandoned, and fighting to safely give birth to her babies, ”BooBoo”, a 5 week old kitten born without a knee joint…”Itty Bitt”, a beautiful crippled tabby boy who starved himself almost to death from sadness…left behind when his owner moved…“Princess,” the elderly Lhasa Apso…blind and deaf, she was tossed aside …and so many more…..
Every day we receive calls asking for help for orphaned kittens, abandoned puppies, cats and dogs…some strays, some abused, and others unwanted, for reasons both good and bad. SAD*SAC receives no government help, no grants, no endowments…without the kind donations of those who also want to help these homeless pets, we won’t have the resources to save their lives.
Please reach out to them today!!!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR CARING KINDNESS!

Jupiter Beach Cleanup Schedule
We are proud to provide the beach cleanup schedule for Friends of Jupiter Beach volunteers for 2011. Traditionally, cleanups are the FIRST Saturday of every month--shine only--based in Ocean Cay Park, Anita Lankler pavilion, from 8am - 10am.
Our Team Captains have always left trash and recyclables on the street-side, close to garbage cans. Blue recyclables bags are picked up right after Cleanups by Rapid Removal, a Palm Beach Gardens firm, using their truck. Since we began tracking in August of 2006, FJB volunteers have removed more than 28,000 pounds of garbage from this 2 1/2 mile stretch of beach.
For 2011, the first cleanup is moved to Saturday, January 8; no cleanup on New Year's Day. We are moving into our 16th year of service to our beach and community! We appreciate your support and tremendous cooperation for all these years.

LIFE - Life Is Feeding Everyone
Dear ML Families,
It’s three in the morning and my wife and I can’t sleep. The first annual LIFE (Life IS Feeding Everyone) day is around the corner, 12-11-10. Think of how cool that will be 12-11-11, 12-11-12, 12-11-13, etc! This is going to be an annual day, every year, that all of us and all of those that we reach out to, show the world that there is abundance. It only takes a minute to make a difference in someone’s life and to create LIFE. So on this day, each and every one of us will do some act of kindness that includes bringing food or sustenance to a hungry person. It’s time to get our vision started. Let’s start THIS SATURDAY, 12-11-10!!
Here are some ideas:
1. A sandwich to a homeless person on the corner- Peanut butter and Jelly??
2. Canned goods to a soup Kitchen, or if you want, I can take your cans and bring them to the DCF distribution Center. I will pick up cans or you can drop them off at my house. Just call me!
3. Give a bottle of water or coffee to a homeless person.
4. Find a soup Kitchen to work at: They are in every community. There is one on Boynton Beach Blvd, between Military and Lyons called THE SOUP KITCHEN: 561-732-7595. You can make a whole loaf of Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches with your friend, kids, grandchildren. Have a competition to see who can make them the fastest and make it fun. Then put the sandwiches back in the bread loaf bag and call the kitchen to drop them off. It’s cheap and easy and a wonderful thing to do. They also accept leftovers, or other foods. Just call them, or call me if you live in another area and we will help to find a local soup kitchen together.
5. Do you have a neighbor who lives alone and struggles to make ends meet? You could bring a care package. Reach out and bring a plate for dinner, a plate of cookies, a cooked turkey? Get creative!
6. Do you constantly have leftovers when you go out to eat, or when you bake, or when you make a dinner for friends and family? Bag up or pack up those leftovers, ask for a doggie bag or to go box at the restaurant and silverware, and take a drive around! I know there are always several homeless people at the corner of Congress and 6th avenue and they SHARE with each other. Or, you know where you can be safe and hand out food. GO there. Wherever you are! If you are out of state, out of the country, even better. That means our vision is reaching farther.
7. Can you come up with another idea and share it with the group. Email directly to the group or email me and I will compile more ideas in this list for us to use!
We CAN make a difference. We CAN show the world that ML has changed the world and will continue to! Let’s get it started in HERE! Let’s talk about LIFE!
Please send this letter, or you can edit it (even better), to everyone in your address book, and everyone in THEIR address book! Just think of the difference WE will make when we enroll everyone in our vision…. …isn’t that the goal???? Ask your friends, and I am asking YOU all –to respond back to the group after Saturday, as to what YOU did for LIFE DAY. Did you get a smile? Did it make a difference? Did you feel warm inside? WE ARE THE DIFFERENCE WE SEEK! LET’S Get it Started OUT THERE!! GO TEAM EARTH!

Volunteer Opportunity 2212 Collier Ave Lake Worth
Dear Volunteers,
Please note the new email address that will allow me to keep track of the email list in a more efficient way. Please add nhnproject@gmail.com to your contacts list so it does not go into spam.
We will be back at 2212 Collier Ave for the last bathroom clean out and wipe down of more furniture on Saturday, Dec. 11th. I was originally planning on Dec. 4th but ran into a scheduling conflict. This step on Saturday, Dec. 11th is very crucial as we have and will achieve the last leg of the clean out. We made GREAT progress on the last clean out and thank all the volunteers that came to help.
As we all know this is one of the toughest cases that we are working on and we are so blessed for the help that Paint Your Heart Out and Rebuilding Together of the Palm Beaches as provided and volunteers that they have sent to our project. THANKS JOANNA AND RUTH!!!! and all our friends with both organizations!!!
Dec. 11th we need 5-10 Volunteers, two will be moving the last of the trash out of the master Bathroom so others can bag it and then we need to clean down that bathroom and wipe all the furniture and facilities down to get the rest of the "dust" off of them and help remove the smell.
We are moving into the rehab phase of the program and will need some big hearts and help to bring this home up to code and ready for Trixie to move back in! Please come by on Saturday, Dec. 11th, if not to volunteer but to help check the wiring, plumbing and all other "fix it" items to help make the list so we can go forward with finding the funding and the donations to finish this home. Again I personally want to thank everyone that has helped in so many ways during this HUGE Event!
Please remember when you go back to your neighborhoods, your family and friends, look around and see if there is a person in need where you live! Don't just be a good neighbor! be a GREAT NEIGHBOR by referring those in need to the charities that can help them! Please find links to various groups at www.volunteerpalmbeach.blogspot.com and if you have a charity that is not linked and want to have one please send me an email with the web address.
NHNP is not just about working in our area but helping link others to the help they need where ever you live! And remember that all projects and volunteer opportunities help support your community service hour requirements!

Joy Brenner's House gets a PYHO make Over!
El Sol painted the home of Joy Brenner in Jupiter. (Pictures at bottom of post)
She keeps a very nice house and lives in a beautiful neighborhood. PYHO was able to have the house pressure cleaned and ready for painting. The volunteers from El Sol and myself painted and were done in just under 2 hours. The rest of the time we painted and touched up. Here are the photos I took of the volunteers from El Sol. Many thanks to Jocelyn and Dora for organizing with me. But special thanks to Antonio, Filiberto, Jose, Juan Carlos, Victor, Telesforo, Miguel , Juan Camposew, Fernando , Simion, Genaro and Baltazar. You guys are amazing and have helped so many homeowners with their needs for maintenance. We can only say another thank you and you are very much appreciated.
Joy had to go to work when we painted but she came to see us in action and she got out of the car she was crying tears of joy... it was quite touching to all of us. We gave her hugs and there are no words to describe her appreciation written all over her face. It was a great moment.
Enjoy the photos and Joy we are proud of the PYHO team and the beautiful paint job we did on your home, play house and mailbox.

Devoure Family
The Desouvre family had the home inspection and paid over $300.00 for it. The inspection passed with everything. They moved in the beginning of this year and then the rain came and the water came in from many places. The fact that the house needed a new roof badly was never discussed and did not show up on any report. They have tried all ways to find out how this could happen and have reached many dead ends.
They found out about Rebuilding Together a national nonprofit in which volunteers all over the country help homeowners in need. RT has contacted and received a great response from National Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association. There are roofing companies that have stepped up and are ready to help this family but need to share in the expenses.
The homeowners have raised funds in the amount of $1,800.oo and RT received donations from companies and individuals. The HOA has received many calls about the blue tarp and as you can see in the photos none of us would want this in our neighborhoods.
The part that alarms me is that they have a 3 year old and there mold issues in the house. The new roof will stop the mold from growing and would not do any more damage to the structure and interior of the home. The water comes from the ceiling fans and lights so they can't be used until the roof is fixed. The bids have come in from $6,500.00 labor
only , if we could get supplies donated to $9,500.00 to $12,000.00.
This husband and wife both work and are very talented and professional. They have not wanted to ask of our help but they really need it. I feel that they need a chance to live in this very great neighborhood and live safely for the sake of their 3 year old .
What we are asking from Rebuilding Together that if you could find any sources to be able to help it would be much appreciated. A donation , a donation of supplies for the roofing materials , time and skills for labor.
Thank you for your time and a have to send a special thanks to Bob McNab from Graboski Roofing and Dave from Sky high roofing. They have stepped up to the plate and made some great offerings to help this family.

RTPB Recepient Gives to Another even when she is in need!
Letter from Joanna Aiken to PBSO Cpl. Shawn Goddard....There are small blessings everyday in Lake Worth and Beyond!
Hi Shawn,
Would you be able to get someone to go to get this very special gift
from one of our Rebuilding Together PB recepients. She heard about the
child that wanted a star wars toy and went out to buy it even though she
has needs of her own.
Rosemary Otto lives at 316 North M Street in Lake Worth 33460 and her
phone number is 582-4063. She has voice mail and she volunteers all the
time at a hospital.
I heard that the basketball hoop is being delivered today. Your guys
and you are amazing.
I am so lucky to have great people around me.

Hi Shawn,
Would you be able to get someone to go to get this very special gift
from one of our Rebuilding Together PB recepients. She heard about the
child that wanted a star wars toy and went out to buy it even though she
has needs of her own.
Rosemary Otto lives at 316 North M Street in Lake Worth 33460 and her
phone number is 582-4063. She has voice mail and she volunteers all the
time at a hospital.
I heard that the basketball hoop is being delivered today. Your guys
and you are amazing.
I am so lucky to have great people around me.

2212 Collier Lets Hit the Finish Line!
Dear Volunteers,
We have one more day to have the last room cleaned out and some organization projects in order to get ready for the next phase that will be the inside Rehab portion of this project. Dates available to do this will be as follows and if you can confirm what Dates you will be able to attend we can schedule accordingly. Again this is and probably will be on of the biggest projects that we have taken on but we do need to finish the clean up project and then move on to Rehab and your help is greatly needed and appreciated!
Dates available are as follows:
Saturday, November 13th and/or 20th
Saturday, December 4th and/or 11th
We will need 10+ Volunteers and please forward this to anyone you think will be interested in this project. As a reminder this project is indoors with just a few things to take care of outdoors and is a case that involves a very serious case of Hoarding. We have come such a long way and the homeowner is and has been a trooper and a willing participant in her own efforts to solve her issues and be back in her own home. This final clean up will leave us with the rehab portion which we will be appealing to the Construction and Trade industries for their very kind and generosity to help get the inside livable and the homeowner back into her home.
It is with my deepest and heart felt wish to finish this project and for all trade people that can donate time, material and energy to bring this project to a finish along with the hundreds of volunteers that have helped up to this point. Thank you again and many times over for all that have worked on this one and all the other projects through out Lake Worth and beyond. Every ones efforts have made this project and many others the success that they are. Please email me back with which of the dates above you can help and all dates will start at 9AM and we normally work until 12PM.
Sincerely,
Robert E. Waples II

Finish cleaning the Master Bedroom/Bathroom, Complete wipe down of all Furniture, Remove Mattresses from Master Bedroom, Remove more carpeting, Clean Windows inside and out, removal of wall paper.
We need about 10 plus Volunteers to help with these final steps to begin the rehab process.

Such as repairing the sliding glass doors so they work, Electrical testing of all area's of the house to ensure that the wiring is safe, check of the plumbing to ensure proper operation, Outside lights wiring tested for replacement parts to be installed replacement of the window in the front door and misc.....minor repairs.
We also need additional funding sources to help pay for costs related to this rehab with leads to grants, donors and senior/disability services that can provide aide to this Lake Worth Resident.
The very many volunteers that have worked so hard on this project for the 14 weeks that we have been here, are so greatly appreciated and we are now so close to getting this homeowner back in her home and bringing the home back to code which will improve her quality of life and the quality of the neighborhood as a whole. Being our largest project to date we need to keep the momentum going and bring the project to completion.

Family in South County Cont....
Ok, I just got a call from Crpl Goddard, and here is the info we need:
The two younger boys need both clothes and shoes.
Tyler is 9 years old, clothes size 10-12, shoe size: 3 ½. He loves anything that is with remote control, iron man super hero, and Nerf toys.
Oustein is 10, his clothes size is 12-14 and shoes size 4. He loves anything Star Wars and Lego items, specially the “space police” items.
The older boy is 16. According to the mother, he doesn’t need clothes or shoes because his grandmother buys them for him. He loves everything that has to do with the Miami Dolphins. Crpl. Goddard will find out his shirt size.
The boys really want to have the basketball hoop repaired. It has been destroyed as a result of a past hurricane.
Anything that can be provided will be greatly appreciated. I understand that Crpl. Goddard wants us to all coordinate what we are doing so there is no duplication.
Thanks in advance. It is all about people helping people.

Lantana Road Woman in Need
Joanna,
My client Christine Terhune was referred to 211 and then to Elder
Crisis Outreach by a deputy with Palm Beach Sheriff Office after he was
called out to her home because two strange men were in her yard. The
deputy told her that she needs to get her bushes trimmed so no one can
hide in the bushes and informed her that there are agencies that can
assist her with this matter.
My client only works part time and had just returned to work on 10/6
after having major surgery and treatment for ovarian cancer. She is not
able to afford any vegetation clean up in her yard. Is there any
volunteer who can assist her? Can you send her an application for
Rebuilding to Together? Let me know. Her address and number is: 3209
Hypoluxo Rd Lantana, Fl 33462 (561-969-0152). Thanks

Family in Need in South County Area
Joanna,
First off....let me apologize for the length of this email.... I know it looks like War and Peace.
During the holidays, we are usually tasked with finding a family that could really use our assistance, whether it be with just Thanksgiving food, Christmas toys for their kids etc,etc.
There is a family in the Watergate Estates trailer park that could really use some assistance all around. This family has assisted us in the past with numerous community related projects, provided us with intel and has even let us conduct surveillance from their home so that we could obtain a search warrant for a nearby drug house. They greatly support our efforts here in the Watergate community.
The husband is a truck driver and has to be away from the family for weeks on end at times so that he can make ends meet to pay bills, mortgage, power etc,etc. The wife is unable to work due to medical issues and cannot afford medications she is prescribed so she lives pretty much in pain so that money can go towards the kids and more immediate family needs.
Their house is near foreclosure ( possibly already IN foreclosure) and they are struggling to make ends meet.
I keep in constant contact with the mother and father regarding the community and any activity in the area. The Mom has insomnia and sees and hears alot of goings on in the community and passes that information on to us. On Tuesday, I stopped out at their residence when I saw the mom leaning on the hood of their car crying. I talked with her for about an hour regarding the family's situation and this holiday season and how the family is facing one of the toughest times. The family has never had a sense of entitlement or felt they deserved to get assistance, or expected anything in return for supporting our efforts in the community. Mom actually apologized for sounding so selfish, that there were other families that were probably in worse shape.
The family has two cars. A 1985 Volvo with over 200,000 or so miles on it and rarely makes it very long without a breakdown. The car was given to the family by the moms mother so that the husband can go to work and not leave the family without transportation. Mom has a separate car to take care of the kids, family needs and any emergencies that may arise while he is gone. The second car is a 1994 Honda Civic and also has over 200,000 miles ( although they are not positive as the odometer broke at 133,000 miles). It also breaks on a regular basis.
On Saturday, October 30th, I met with Gold Coast Tire and Auto repair manager Al Yaghy and told him about the family. He donated 4 new tires, balancing, mounting and an alignment for the family AT NO CHARGE! (We are going to recognize Mr.Yeaghy and his crew for their generosity in the near future.) I attached a picture of Mr. Yeaghy of Gold Coast Tire and his head mechanic. Behind them is the Honda belonging to the family.
I have a few things that we can help the family out with such as the Thanksgiving food drive, toys for tots and shop with a cop event ( we have helped the family in the past with the Toys for Tots program ) a portable basketball hoop for the kids ( theirs was damaged in a recent storm), the mom says the younger boys were wanting anything star wars but needed clothes and the oldest (17 years old) understands that he may have to sacrifice his holiday so that the younger brothers can have a decent Christmas.
I know we call upon alot of businesses in the local area to assist but if we can think of anything that we can do to help...I'm sure it would make life alot easier on the parents.
Joanna, If you need any additional information, please let me know.
And if I get any additional information regarding the family, I'll contact you too.
Thanks!

Thanks to I big effort of Volunteers from Christ Fellowship http://gochristfellowship.com/ and Northwood Universty http://www.northwood.edu/fl/, Paint Your Heart Out and the Solid Waste Authority has brought the magic and caring to two residents in the City of Lake Worth.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors Project is proud to be a part of such two heart warming events and would like to remind all neighbors in and out or our city and into all of Palm Beach County that YOU as neighbors can make a difference every day by just caring for the people that live near and next to you.
We try and let you know what is happening in every neighborhood but keep in mind in these economic times there are more people in need than ever and it is more than ever a time to for Neighbors to Help Neighbors in your area. Please organize and help your own neighborhood to become a better place by lifting up those who live right next door.
921 13th Ave South Ms. Nancy McGiver a single mother who lost her job and has limited income
AND
316 North M Street - Local Artist Rosemary Otto Senior Citizen on Low Income
Both Homeowners now know that people in Palm Beach County do care about them and received a fresh new coat of paint on the outside of their homes.
This is a great start however both homes need additional assistance. We will be listing their needs soon and hopefully additional volunteers and services can be provided.
We Thank the Solid Waste Authority's Joanna Aikens and John Stead for the donation of thier time, Paint and tools to get the job done and especially thank all the volunteers from all over the county for coming and sharing this wonderful day of helping those in need with us.

Puppy needs good home!
Subject: help find this puppy a home :-)
Hello. I found this puppy on Saturday in the projects. An idiot (could choose a better word, but...) was dragging around puppies on a bicycle and trying to sell them; they even were making them fight each other. Needless to say, I was able to get ahold and save one. Unfortunelty, we cannot have a dog, so I took her to PBC Animal Care & Control.
In an effort to find her a loving home, I am sending this to you in hopes you or someone you know can give her a forever home. She is young, friendly, sweet, loving, enjoys her belly rubbed and loves to give kisses.
Check her out at (copy and past the link in your broser)...

Please forward to others who maybe interested. Thank you (and I know she thanks you for making an effort to save her life).

Resident of Jupiter needs food and clothing
Lois Simmons lives at 17703 Carver in Jupiter Florida 33458. She is on
dialysis and in July had a leg amputated due to her diabetes. She toes
to dialysis treatment on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. Her husband
has been employed by Jupiter HS as head custodian for 15 years.
Lois and her husband are raising their 3 year old grand Niece and have
her in Pittman day care so she can play and have friends and learn. The
day care is $27.60 per week and she is struggling to pay that fee. Her
name is Joy and she is such a Joy to the Simmons family.
Lois is in a wheel chair and is able to take palm Tran to the grocery
store when she needs to go. Her husband does all of the shopping,
cleaning and work around the house. She is not able to get into her
husband's truck with her disabilities. She wants to go to Wal-Mart to
shop for a couple of hours for some items she needs for her treatment
and for easier dressing.
I asked her to list some things that would help her out in her daily
like with this new disability. She helped me make a list.
Cleaning products for the counter and bathrooms (she loves plug ins)
Size 4T dresses and shirts for Joy and size 10 tennis shoes for Joy. She
would love some dresses for Joy to wear to church on Sundays.
Lois would like ladies shorts size 24 for her to wear to dialysis
Pull over dresses for her to be able to dress herself
She would love food donations of vegetables, fish, chicken and any
canned goods.
She lives near Willie on Carver and we painted his house this past June
with Christ Fellowship group. Willie loves Joy and she goes to visit him
all of the time.
If you know of any one that would like to help this family please feel
free to contact me or call Lois direct at 743-2661. If you want to do a
group collection we could do that too.
One thing I did get from her is that her family is very proud and would
never ask for a handout. I sure with all of us we can help them out with
this small list of things that could change their lives.
She called me by accident ... she actually thought she was calling a
food bank.
Thank you every one for taking my e mails and letting me share the
stories that somehow come to my phone.

Progress at Trixie's House
VOLUNTEER - what a powerful word that carries such promise that in past, current and future times will always stand tall! This September 11th as we had the chance to think of the past and things that were so very tragic we as Volunteers paid our tributes by helping a person regain their independence and quality of life.
2212 Collier in Lake Worth has been a long project but through so many volunteers that share the greatest assets of all Caring and Sweat Equity we are making great progress to get this homeowner another step towards a better quality of life.
We will continue this project again this coming Saturday, Sept 18th and ask all that would like to join us to please come out and help. We still need to move heavy objects to rip out the rest of the carpet, remove wall paper, clean everything from counter tops to walls, bathrooms and any surface. There is still more rooms to go through and a lot of organizing to get this house ready for much needed inside repairs.....
After this Saturday we will publish a wish list items that may be needed and a list of work that has to be completed in order to make the home livable again.
Thanks to people like you this home as come a long way and we can see the completion and new life that we are bringing to this homeowner with in our reach. Volunteer - the key to making communities better.

Email to Volunteers....Do you Want to Join?
Dear Volunteer Group,
If you get this email then you are in my Volunteer group because you have volunteered on one of my projects or a project in Lake Worth or Palm Beach County that I was a part of. I respect everyone's right to privacy and or emails that they do not want to get. If you receive this and do not wish to be on the list please reply remove from list and your email address that you want off the list as many of you have multiple email Addresses.
We will be back at 2212 Collier Ave. THIS Saturday at 9AM to do a little more landscaping clean up but mainly for the inside clean up. Neighbors Helping Neighbors Project hopes that anyone that can help will turn out and those that can't please note that there will be many more opportunities in the future. You can see the history of this case at www.volunteerpalmbeach.blogspot.com , along with other cases we have worked with. Not all cases are hoarders as some are with the Paint Your Heart Out project or Rebuilding Together of the Palm Beaches and other volunteer efforts, but Neighbors Helping Neighbors Project is the "Sweat Equity" group that will dive in and help clean out for our neighbors in need.
Bottom Line is that Hoarding is a major issue through out the City of Lake Worth the County of Palm Beach the State of Florida and Nationally and what is sad is that there is not a team that addresses the issues in our County in Our Cities and in our South Florida Area. I personally challenge all County and Municipalities to come together and address the issue for the sake of bringing resources along side of our groups to help those in need. If you have not worked on one of our (Please note that OUR means my neighborhood ROLOH, Neigbhors Helping Neighbors Project, the City of Lake Worth, the County of Palm Beach and all the agencies such as Joanna Aikens Paint your Heart Out and Rebuilding Together of the Palm Beaches, OCR (Office of Community Revitilization), DCI Constructions, Amador Landscaping and so many many more groups that its almost impossible to name them all as Lake Osborne Presbyterian Church) OUR Groups means Community County Wide and we want to all work together to make this and other social issues become a project of hope.
Sometimes Neighbors just need to ask if another needs help.....Will you be a neighor? Will you reach out? Will you volunteer in your neighborhood to make a difference? Start a Neighbors Helping Neighbors Project in your area today.....Don't wait just join and follow us at: www.volunteerpalmbeach.blogspot.com
Sweat Equity is more valuable than the price of Gold and even Wall Street can not challenge that :-) Know someone that works on Wall Street? Forward this to them and THANKS for being a great Neighbor!

2212 Collier Lake Worth & 1774 Pleasant Dr. Juno Beach
Dear Volunteers,
Just a reminder that we will be back at 2212 Collier Ave. in Lake Worth in the ROLOH Area to continue on with our clean out and up. We will start at 8:30 am September 4th on a Saturday. All age groups 16 and up are welcome (There is minor weed pulling in the yard so younger teenagers accompanied by a parent are welcome with parental supervision).
Our main focus will be to continue cleaning out the home, working with the homeowner to decide what stays and what can be sold. We would also like to start the yard sale as we are performing the clean out to help facilitate moving merchandise and raising funds for this home owner. (I personally have a bag of men's clothing that I will be donating to the yard sale) The homeowner will be on hand to aid us however please remember this homeowner is a senior and has physical disabilities.
Goal for this Saturday is to get as much non valuables and perishables out, secure a staging area to review good items for the homeower to decide what can go in the sale and continue removing old carpeting and trash. Please pass on the word as we need as many volunteers as possible and for those that live in the North County area we have another clean up/out on Pleasant Drive in Juno Beach so please feel free to help at that clean out.
Both homes will need handy work done also......removing wall paper, repairing light fixtures, patching holes in walls, Heavy Duting Cleaning, patching roof eves, minor outside wall repairs, Yard Work, etc...
As we gain more cases (and we are starting to get more notifications) we will place it on a schedule and keep all volunteers informed. Please visit www.volunteerpalmbeach.blogspot.com often for updates. If you would like to become a corporate sponsor and donate supplies please contact myself, Joanna Aiken or Ruth Moguillansky-DeRose or are cc'd on this email. We thank or partners Paint Your Heart Out, Rebuilding Together of the Palm Beaches, OCR, City of Lake Worth and Staff, DCI Construction, PBSO and PBSO D14, NAPC and many others. Please notify your local policing agencies, utilities and code enforcements to let us know of these type of cases that really need help and aid so we my coordinate the volunteer efforts with all agencies.
If you would like not to be on the volunteer email list please reply with "remove" in the subject line.

Just a reminder that we will be back at 2212 Collier Ave. in Lake Worth in the ROLOH Area to continue on with our clean out and up. We will start at 8:30 am September 4th on a Saturday. All age groups 16 and up are welcome (There is minor weed pulling in the yard so younger teenagers accompanied by a parent are welcome with parental supervision).
Our main focus will be to continue cleaning out the home, working with the homeowner to decide what stays and what can be sold. We would also like to start the yard sale as we are performing the clean out to help facilitate moving merchandise and raising funds for this home owner. (I personally have a bag of men's clothing that I will be donating to the yard sale) The homeowner will be on hand to aid us however please remember this homeowner is a senior and has physical disabilities.
Goal for this Saturday is to get as much non valuables and perishables out, secure a staging area to review good items for the homeower to decide what can go in the sale and continue removing old carpeting and trash. Please pass on the word as we need as many volunteers as possible and for those that live in the North County area we have another clean up/out on Pleasant Drive in Juno Beach so please feel free to help at that clean out.
Both homes will need handy work done also......removing wall paper, repairing light fixtures, patching holes in walls, Heavy Duting Cleaning, patching roof eves, minor outside wall repairs, Yard Work, etc...
As we gain more cases (and we are starting to get more notifications) we will place it on a schedule and keep all volunteers informed. Please visit www.volunteerpalmbeach.blogspot.com often for updates. If you would like to become a corporate sponsor and donate supplies please contact myself, Joanna Aiken or Ruth Moguillansky-DeRose or are cc'd on this email. We thank or partners Paint Your Heart Out, Rebuilding Together of the Palm Beaches, OCR, City of Lake Worth and Staff, DCI Construction, PBSO and PBSO D14, NAPC and many others. Please notify your local policing agencies, utilities and code enforcements to let us know of these type of cases that really need help and aid so we my coordinate the volunteer efforts with all agencies.
If you would like not to be on the volunteer email list please reply with "remove" in the subject line. We will strive not to send out multiple emails unless we need to notify you of a cancellation or change of location. Most information will be posted to the website and volunteers are also needed to help with the site....

Success is Defined in many ways. Betsy THANK You.
Hi Mr. Waples,
Just a side note of thanks...Not only did you improve my house but you improved my son Mike. As a mom I'm constantly asking him to pick up after himself, well he now asks me to please keep the front of the house picked up! I had the hose stretched across the driveway to water the bougainvillea daily, as instructed, and he informs me that it doesn't look good with the hose lying on the driveway. I have worked for 21 years to achieve that response and you all did it in two weekends. I will always remember this day!
Thanks

Another Palm Beach County Resident in Need
HI Joanna,
Thank you for the assistance you gave during our phone conversation this morning. As I said our neighbor Barbara Lewis is a sweet elderly lady who has recently been hospitalized. She has no family and has been living under terrible circumstances. Barbara is a "collector" of sorts. She just will not throw away anything. She will not be permitted to return to her home until it is cleaned up and repairs have been made. At this time we are in urgent need of a dumpster...as soon as possible. We would also like to speak with you about other services for her such as the Paint Your Heart out Programs, and Rebuilding Together. We have come together as a community to help our neighbor, by cleaning and repairing in an effort to get her back into her home as soon as possible. This is a sweet woman who loves her gardens and feeds all of the local kitties (about 12 of them). It would be wonderful if she were able to come back home to a nice clean home and all of her little friends.
Please let me know if there is anything else we need to do to expedite this process. I will fill out the application for assistance and return to you as soon as I receive it. Thanks Again !!!

Appreciation
It was wonderful to work together as a team and the house looks just beautiful!.
Can you imagine if every person would do something that would make life just a little bit easier for our neighbor or added a tiny bit of joy to someone's day? Wow, how powerful it would be.
You don't learn volunteerism, you just do it. The attitude of helpfulness comes naturally:-).

Neighbors Helping Nieghbors is Contagious!!!!
Good morning, Mr. Tate.
PBSO Lt. Chris Keane asked if this volunteer opportunity might be sent to the GTAC distribution.
Per Debbie Downie, Office Administrator for Habitat for Humanities, they will be working with volunteers on the Pahokee house this Saturday from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. There will also be opportunities for volunteers to help build this house every Tuesday through Saturday from 8:00 am – 3:00 pm until the house is completed. The exception to this schedule would be if any of these days land on a Holiday or Holiday weekend.
It is required that all volunteers “Register” on their VolunteerUp site. They also need to sign a waiver. (Attached) Each time they volunteer, they need to go online and “Sign Up” for the day they will be working. They can also check this site for any changes to the schedule. Access is through the website at www.habitatpbc.org
Thank you.
