I am part of HomesFirstVT, the organization that is working with Nick Cantrick and your Construction Tech program to build right-sized homes for our working neighbors.
Essentially, we are the no-profit partner who is fundraising and working with our community to find placement for the homes, and residents to enjoy them - a simple sentence, disguising the loads of work this entails.
In short, I am emailing to invite you to the Marquis Theater, Wednesday, November 16th, f6:30-8, for an event highlighting and fundraising for this effort!
We will be showing a short documentary film explaining this project, created by a Vermont student crew who drove to communities to learn about how to do this kind of community effort. Andrew Lunnetta from A Tiny Home For Good, from Syracuse, NY, will be joining us to share his experience doing this similar work in his city.
I don't need to explain to you how invaluable this experience is for our students and our community. In this way, we would greatly appreciate any donation you might offer, on our website, there is a way to donate.
AND
We would so appreciate your passing this 'ask' along to your colleagues and community members who you think might be willing to help.
THANK YOU,
Mary Simons
Lincoln, VT
