Notes

Update via call to Jane Breylinger 3/23/07

HERO (Working w/Highlands Habitat for Humanity) is
involved in new home construction and mainly
roof repair and construction (METAL supplies needed
as they hold up better than shingles to hurricanes)
as a result of the 2004/2005 FL hurricanes. Building
materials and construction volunteers are still very
much in demand as well as Drywall and Insulation
materials. Some interior projects are being worked
on at this time.
