Because We Can & Want To
Remembering 9/11/01, this is a way of saying Thank You to those First Responders who serve.
This is also a leadin to our 9/11/01 Memorial Build wherein we are going to seek out a local First Responder who is in need of home repairs and remember those fallen on that fateful day through not just our words but through our actions.

Though this project is not a house, it fits in with our holistic approach of Co...mmunity Improvement & Renewal.
There is a HEAVY emphasis on Green in this Project that you will see the reuse and repurposing of used building materials.
Recycling is good ReUse of building materials is Better.

There are several tasks to do Saturday that you can help with;
1. We're installing kitchen cabinets that were donated to The Fuller Center's 'ReClaim It Store/Warehouse', installing new stainless steel counter tops and doing some interior painting on the kitchen side.
2. We're building some gear lockers for the fire fighters out of repurposed metal racks, you can help put those together.
3. We're doing a minor facelift to the front of the Station which will include landscaping, planting, hardscape and accent painting led by HGTV's Kimberly Lacy and we're including use of recycled granite countertops into a walkway to the flag pole. That's Really Cool!!

Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Ongoing Need For Volunteers, Donations & Sponsors For Georgian

by Thomas Hoefer

The house of Sunny Side residents Bobby and Anita Simpson was destroyed by the tornado that hit Spalding County on April 28. Without home insurance, the family relies on help from the community, and this help will be coming Saturday when the Henry County Fuller Center for Housing will be on site to start the rebuilding process.

However, the organization is still in need of local support.

“We need a lot of volunteers, sponsors and donations,” said John Quinn, who is getting the word out for the event, adding that people with knowledge of plumbing and electricity are especially welcome.

Work will begin at 8:30 a.m. at the Simpson residence at 5029 Old Atlanta Road. Sponsors, such as local businesses, are needed to provide food and beverages for volunteers.

According to its Web site, www.hcfullercenter.org, the Henry County Fuller Center began working on the house of Bobby and Anita Simpson on April 30, clearing fallen trees from the yard and covering the damaged sections of the roof with a tarp.

Saturday’s work will include the start of the rebuilding process, which may be a continuing effort, Quinn said.

Those who are interested in joining the rebuilding efforts of the Henry County Fuller Center should come to the site of the house Saturday, as registration is not required.
