Building New Frontiers…A New Lease on Living
Sunday, October 12
As part of our 47th Annual Convention, ELFA is participating in the ongoing relief efforts related to Hurricane Katrina. On Sunday morning October 12, ELFA volunteers will assist the St. Bernard Parish Department of Recreation with their efforts to rebuild the old Hannan High School. Located just below New Orlean’s lower 9th Ward, St. Bernard Parish was severely hit by Katrina, suffering damage to 100% of commercial, government and residential structures. Relief organizations and volunteers continue working year round to rebuild the community. The Hannan High School project is a critical priority because it will restore needed park and performing arts facilities devastated by the hurricane. Volunteer assistance is crucial since federal disaster relief funds are limited from use on such restoration projects. There is no limit to the number of volunteers for this project.
This will be an ELFA coordinated project and transportation and meals will be provided. Volunteers will be engaged in small construction, painting, sheet rock and landscaping projects coordinated by the parish. Appropriate clothing and footwear is recommended.
