LMJ Neighborhood Watch

Hello LMJ Neighbors,

Wanted you all to know about something wonderful happening in our LMJ community.

There is a new “Homes for our Troops” being built right in our neighborhood! (Roberts Island) Army SPC Luis Puertas was left a double amputee after an explosion in Baghdad Sept 20, 2006 – and now this September he and his wife will receive a new home that is built to accommodate his special needs. I hope you will help in whatever way you can to WELCOME Luis & his wife to our wonderful community.

Here is a link to a video interview:

Perhaps this is a special way for us all to remember the 10^th anniversary of 9/11 and do something positive for those that fight for our freedom.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

If you are a roofer, contractor, or construction laborer that would like to donate time – please contact Nathan Cross at (407) 931-0600,

nathan@nwcconstructionfl.com

Other items needed: lots of bottled water & Gatorade, and coolers with ice. Bring these items on Fri night or Sat morning to the location on Roberts Island Rd.

If you have large tents (10x20 or 20x40) that could be used for the day – please contact Russ Gambill at 321-917-6409 so they don't have to rent these tents.

There will be a lot going on to build a home in 3 days – and we don’t want to pack the area with people that are not involved in the project – so please avoid dropping by just to watch once the building begins. There is an opening ceremony that you can attend at 8:30 am on Friday Sept 16^th.

Hope to see you there!
