What a fabulous work Saturday building 40 beds for kids in the NRV with Sleep in Heavenly Peace. This was a district grant with the RC of Blacksburg and the RC Radford Noon. We were joined by our District Governor Charlotte Whitted, Rotarians from the Christiansburg-Blacksburg club, Rotaractors from VT, Corps of Cadets, Friends of the Blue Ridge, Blacksburg Junior Women’s Club, a dozen family members and members of St Mary’s Catholic Church. St Mary’s allowed us to use their parking lot and kept us in snacks and water. Thanks to Jeff Hamel from Blacksburg Rotary who did a lot of heavy lifting to get this organized. And a special thanks to Paul Mele from Sleep in Heavenly Peace for letting us be part of this awesome project. Thank you to our many wonderful volunteers. I don’t have a number yet but we had over 150 sign up. Many thanks to The Rotary Foundation for the funding. The power of a worthy project!
