When the FEMA trailers are removed on May 1, hundreds of families will lose the slender thread keeping them from hopelessness. While there are fewer people in dire straits, the Gulf Coast is still feeling the pain and loss of Katrina. We need able bodies and open hearts.

The building, the people and the mission will always remain special to me. I can recall all of the old timers reflecting how they dreaded the day that the doors would be closed - and it finally came. I hope all is well for everyone who passed through the doorways of HOGC and that each has many blessings through 2009. Additionally, I hope that the great work of the organization will continue from it's new home.

A group of students and I were hoping to go on a service trip over this winter break. We wanted to see what kind of opportunities were available in your area. The trip would probably be in the early weeks of January and there could be anywhere from 10-15 of us. We are a group of hardworking and motivated college students looking for positive ways we can contrubute. Right now we do not have preferences to what activities we do but we have taken four trips to the gulf coast for hurricane relief and do have experience in this area. I look forward to your response.<BR/><BR/>Thank you,<BR/><BR/>Collin Reeser<BR/>creeser2@uiuc.edu<BR/>University of Illinois- undergradAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27492616.post-46828270744653250812008-09-29T09:23:00.000-06:002008-09-29T09:23:00.000-06:00Top story!

My 25 yr. old son and I watch guiding light every day and believe me, if we had been financially able to be there to help, we would have been. My husband watches the cooking shows more than anything else and he called us into the bedroom to see Pat Thornton play the guitar.My husband, LeRoy is a disabled vietnam veteran and he can play a guitar also. So can my son Zach. They were in awe at pat's playing but could not figure out what kind of guitar that is. I would love to be able to tell them. I am so sorry Pat's wife is no longer with him. Thank you so much to all of the hands on angels.
