Vienna, GA
We have completed our second week of volunteering with NOMADS at Dooly Campground. We have a week left to go and lots more we want to get accomplished.
2010 was our first year of volunteering at various United Methodist agencies through the NOMADS ( nomadsumc.org ) organization. Dooly was our 3rd project. When we returned here two weeks ago, we were delighted to see so many improvements. Likewise, our team of 9 are adding our skills and talents to further improvements.
Our parking site:
Some of our projects:
This is the Ritz, Marriott and Hyatt. We stained and polyed their bathroom floors.
We gutted their bathhouse area. Then painted walls, build new partitions and ceilings, added electrical outlets and more plumbing. No, this is not where the toilets usually sit. EEW. We promise to place them in their proper locations.
We improved the ball field area by painting the restroom and improved some RV sites for future use.
We built tables from reclaimed wood and built new pews for the Tabernacle.
We fixed plumbing in various areas, repaired three washers and dryers, made curtains for the Conference Room and Motel 6 and Super 8 dorms. Also installed cellphone charging stations, replaced damaged ceiling tiles, removed and replaced floors tiles and did a whole lot of small stuff.
Amazing what 9 old people can do.
Bet it feels nice to be out doing things for others!
