6060 Volunteer Corps Builds Homes and Hope in Biloxi |
In May, 2007, nine members of the newly-formed Volunteer Corps traveled to Biloxi, Mississippi to work on rebuilding homes for Katrina victims there. We spent a week as the guests of the First Presbyterian Church, with support also provided by the Rotary Club of Biloxi. |
|
While there, we worked to rebuild two homes that had been nearly destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. One home, owned by brothers Fred and Jeremiah, was almost completed as we left, after a week of installing insulation and sheet rock, mudding, taping, and sanding by our enthusiastic volunteers. |

working and enjoying the fellowship that comes with sharing such a
project. Members of the group were Rotarians Ed Bachmann (High
Ridge), Rod Cooper (Webster Groves), Russ Hoefgen (High Ridge),
Mickey Roper (Cape Girardeau West) Howard Schwadron (Louisiana) and
Kate Schwadron (Lambert Airport). Non Rotarians were Jamie Cooper,
Eric Hoefgen, and Jane Woods (who has since joined the Louisiana
Rotary Club).
