Helping Hand Charity Update

Attention All PPMA Members...

Dig out your tool pouches and hammers, we're building a house!!!

As you probably already know, we have chosen Habitat for Humanity as our charity for 2004. Along with our donation of $5000, we thought it would be a great time to involve our members in the construction of the home.

You may be thinking that you don't have the skills required to work on a home but don't sell yourself short! On the PPMA website (www.ppmamanitoba.com), you will find a volunteer registration form and waiver release, which you must fill out and return to the PPMA office prior to July 15, 2004. It allows you to choose what type of work you would like to do on the home.

This is a very important community service opportunity and we would like to have as many PPMA members help with the construction of this home. Please take a moment to mark the following details on your calendar in red pen so that you can be part of our construction crew.

Dates: August 7th - 14th (work as many days as you like)

Location: 1200 Kildare Avenue

Hours: Breakfast 7:00 am. Work day ends at 5:00 pm


Along with several other contributors the PPMA will be recognized by Habitat for our efforts. We are working with Nicole Harris of Maverick Media Solutions, a media consultant, who will be creating a plan to help recognize the efforts of the PPMA and all of our members through various types of media exposure, tying the Habitat work in with our 20th anniversary.

Another opportunity to make a significant contribution to this project falls to our associate members. If any of our associate members would like to make contributions of: building materials, fixtures, appliances, furniture or any other items for this home, please contact me directly at 975-4771.

Keep you eyes open for more information and please fill out your volunteer registration form and return it by fax (444-4832) to the PPMA office today!
