Welcome to our blog!

Hi out there. This is our very own blog spot to keep everyone up to date on Madison Cares' first trip since forming our National & International Initiatives group. We are so excited about this opportunity to help Slidell, Louisiana - an area that was devastated by Hurricane Katrina - and are thankful for the many volunteers on this "maiden voyage!"

Trip dates are Sunday, October 21st through Friday, October 26th...with work beginning on Monday, October 22nd.

Check back frequently to follow along with the team, their daily work & feedback, and pictures of the build progress.

Thanks and welcome aboard!
Martha Hoffman

Hi Martha,
Thanks for setting up the blog. It might be interesting if all the people on the trip introduce themselves. Maybe we can add a picture. Can one add pictures? Pam Skelly

We're ready to roll, or as they say in New Orleans, "Laissez les bons temps rouler"!Thanks for setting up the blog, Martha, and thank you, Mike Fortuin, for arranging transportation to and from LaGuardia for us!We bring all of the prayers and good wishes of many people to Slidell with us and look forward to our work with the East St. Tammany Habitat For Humanity affiliate this week!
