The Hawthorne Project is a Community Out Reach project.
We work on homes of people in the community repairing them,
this is the 26th NOMADS team that they have hosted.
This is where we are camped. The area is called "The NOMADS WOODS".
It is full hooks ups located behind the Methodist Church in Hawthorne.
Three of the units stayed over from the previous period to help out.
This is the Methodist Church we attend each Sunday while staying here.
This is the Education Center where we have our meetings.
This building was built by several different NOMADS teams.
Dave and Patty celebrated their wedding anniversary during our first week here.
We had an anniversary cake and ice cream with all the toppings.
NOMADS can never have too much ice cream!!
On Sunday we had our team meeting and
gave the members of the team a list of work projects.
Dennis power washed a handicapped ramp outside
an elderly lady's home to prep it for painting.
Patty and Cheri painted a porch in another home.
Dennis and Jack gave Cleo pointers on how to cut pieces needed
to build the replacement roof supports for a storage shed for a home owner .
Jack carefully placed wood clamps to hold the roof supports in place.
Dennis and Jack screwed in the supports.
Cleo and Sandy put calking around a newly replaced window in a home.
Bill worked on installing the wiring for an outdoor light on the porch.

putting out more donations. Joyce measured drapes to be marked and put on hangers.
Cleo and Sandy tore off a roof of a storage shed of a home owner for replacement.
They had lots of brush to remove from the shed.

Friday night several of us played a game of dominoes.
It lasted for four hours and the women's team beat the men.

and toured the fort and the old town.
The bricks of the fort were made of sand and stucco.
The stucco was made of ground sea shells.
