Project for Saturday 5-22-10, Helping Ferrees move on Sunday

Hey, everyone!

Sonny here, on behalf of Dave Ferree (who is wrapping up the pack-up for the move-out). This week only, have we got a deal for you! We've got a project on Saturday, and we're helping Dave and his family pack up their moving truck on Sunday! If you have any questions about either one, feel free to call me at 310-418-3552.

SATURDAY

This week, we're heading to the trailer park on McKinney, East of Loop 288, to help out Ione Miller. She's got some physical limitations, and we're going to focus on repairing her exterior stairs and some yard and tree work.

We're meeting at the SWEAT Team office at 8:30, and we'll be heading out to the site at 9:00. Should be wrapped by noon. Here's a link to the map that shows the entrance to the trailer park (hers is Unit #286):

SUNDAY

We have one last opportunity to give the family of our fearless leader some love by helping them pack up their moving truck before they head out on Monday! Feel free to drop by anytime on Sunday between 1:00 PM and 4:00 PM, and join us in slinging some boxes and furniture! (Just kidding, Frances...we're not going to actually sling anything.) Here's a link to the map to their house:

Nuthin'...just you.

See y'all there!
