HandsOnUSA

HandsOnUSA: "Last week came to a close with a Thank-you to HandsOnUSA event, where we received emotional tributes from officials of Biloxi Dave Staehling and Bill Stallworth, and were honored with presentation of the only surviving key to the City of Biloxi. Our volunteers ( and me) were misty eyed as Bill spoke eloquently, metaphorically describing how our gutting of destroyed homes ' ripped out the despair', and our efforts gave people a sense of hope..... He's been a great leader, and a great friend."

Also Congratulations to Bill!!
"... a visit by First Lady Laura Bush. Among other commendations she named our Bill Driscoll, Jr as a Presidential Citation for Community Service award winner, well deserved for his months of effort. The playground is located in Kiln,MS, home of Green Bay legend Brett Favre, who also joined the ceremony."

and finally: "we also celebrated our long-term volunteers this week, giving out special black tee-shirts earned by more than 30 days cumulative service: 83 recipients"

Speaking of Dave Campbell: here is some things you don't know about him. He went to Niagara University (which is obly a hop skip and a jump from SBU) , ran XC, and at one point not only won the Little Three Championship, but held the SBU course record!
