Comment by John K. on November 2, 2009 at 3:30pm: Right next to my hometown where I grew up ... if I am free Sat I can work both shifts.

Comment by Carol Peterson on October 25, 2009 at 7:53pm: My asthma has been very bad. I cannot handle the dust that will be there. Good Luck to all. Great cause.

Comment by Melanie Wische on October 19, 2009 at 3:14pm: I would definately attend if it wasn't sold out!!! We need more events like this!!! Mercer, Essex, and Somerset County would be good places for me, but would be willing to travel just about anywhere to work with Habitat for Humanity!!!

Comment by Melanie Hazim on September 23, 2009 at 1:33pm: Darn -first shift is sold out huh?! :( Glad to hear there is such a good response- have a great time guys!!

Comment by Doug Beman on September 3, 2009 at 11:19pm: I just noticed this rescheduling, which is great because I was gonna have to bow-out of H4H to do the MS Bike Ride. Now I can do both!

I'm signed up for the morning shift; is it OK to stay the whole day if I want?

See y'all there.
