Last Saturday (March 30), another team leader on the Nepal trip, Jeff, generously offered to host a work day. If we would come and help him "raise the barn" then he would donate the money he would have paid a normal crew to do the same work toward our expenses. We had a really great group of guys there for a beautiful morning of work. We put up the walls for a garage and sheeted the outside for shear strength (I had to throw some enginerdiness in there).
The group cranked from 8 until about 10:30 when a "coffee angel" showed up, Jeff's wife, with coffee cake, muffins, and hot coffee! What a treat! We stopped for a break, chatted about preparations for the trip, and then got fired up for finishing the job.
I am excited to say that we each received nearly $150 toward the Nepal trip. Thanks a bunch to Jeff!
