3. From Bill Hammond, a spring break volunteer opportunity in Alabama:
As you know the tornado that went thru Tuscaloosa and Birmingham Alabama last April left a swath of destruction almost 200 miles long. Many of the larger communities have received help in cleaning up and reconstructing over the last 9 months. There are some areas North and West of Birmingham that have not received much help and need assistance.
Bona Responds is a volunteer group mostly of students from my Alma Mater St Bonaventure University in Western New York, that go out on their vacation days to assist in the rebuilding in these areas. The next trip will be during their Spring Break February 25th thru March 2nd in Walker County Alabama. They were there in early January this year and found such a tremendous need that they are going back over their Spring Break.
They need some adult assistance and I am planning on going for several days (TBD based on everyone’s availability) to help and I’m looking for others that would like to join me. I plan on driving my suburban and if we need more room we can take other cars. The accommodations are to be determined but most likely in a local church. Meals may be provided by the locals and if so the expense are very minimal. The work ranges from minor repairs to construction so there is something for everyone’s skill level. All that is required of you is a positive attitude and a willingness to help out. Please give me a call or send me an E-Mail and let’s discuss supporting this effort. If you know of anyone else not on this E-Mail that would be interested please pass it on. Thanks
Bill H.

Sirach 35: The LORD is a God of justice, who knows no favorites. 2 Timothy 4: The Lord will rescue me from every evil threat and will bring me safe to his heavenly kingdom. Luke 18: But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’
I have a friend who follows the sun around her back yard in a deck chair with a glass of fresh fruit juice in one hand and a book in the other. Here’s the question: Is she “wasting” time or “celebrating” time? Think carefully before you answer. It can get to be a very important question as life goes by. The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
