St. Gerard House: March 2011

Monday, March 28, 2011

...Hello, Tyvek!

working on the windows

testing stucco colors and roof tiles

from see-through walls...

In one week, we have gone

to fuzzy walls...

to drywalls! Yeah!

(the men in charge, makin' it happen)

It's really exciting to see this process - it's becoming easier to imagine what it will be like to have kids in here!

the cool corner window

We are still excited about the incredible fundraising event earlier in March,

and the generosity of everyone who participated.

Plus, we all had a great time! Here's more proof:

Thanks to Sherry Glatzer for these photos!

Last Tuesday was

Mardi Gras

and

Staff

and his

space and time

to support

St. Gerard House.

It was an incredible night!

There was a silent auction...

Lots of fun things to bid on!

Caribbean Cowboys!

cajun food

Oysters

and great people.

We all had a blast,

and we raised just under $9,000 for St. Gerard House!

Thank you to everyone who made this event a success!

We can't wait until next year!
