Friends seeking nominations
The Friends program, started
in 1998 to help a Wayne resident
whose home is in need of some
tender loving care, is seeking
nominations for a home to work
on this year. Homes are usually
chosen based on the homeown-
ers' inability to handle the work
themselves, due to either finan-
cial or health reasons. The
Friends committee coordinates
with willing volunteers to com-
plete the 'curb appeal'.
To nominate yourself, a neigh-
bor, donate or volunteer; please
call
the
Community
Development Department at
(734) 419-0118. Homes must be
owner occupied. This program is
free to the homeowner.
This program is completely
funded through donations and
volunteers. This is a 'feel good'
project which will take place on
Saturday, Sept. 10. The rain date
is Sept. 17. Donations are greatly
appreciated.
