Monthly home updates starting November ‘08

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

A new area of our web site kicks off this month! Visit http://www.projecthomecoming.net/scrapbook for monthly photo updates on our homes currently in reconstruction. We will also post photos from home dedications when a home is completed. Posts will be categorized by the homeowner’s first name and street name so that our volunteers can recognize homes they worked on. 

If you are an RSS user, you will notice that the Scrapbook has its own news feed that is separate from our main page.
