The End of our Summer Before and After Event…

September 28, 2008 | by Fred (email) |

Wow!  It seems like just yesterday we were getting ready for the Summer… and just like that, it’s over.  Unfortunately, that means our Summer Before and After event is also over!

Thanks so much to those of you who made this Summer’s event a success.  OPC donated more than $300 to Habitat, and hopefully inspired several of our fellow bloggers to donate and volunteer as well.

Next week, we’ll have summaries of each article posted so we can vote for a winner and award them a $50 gift card to the home improvement store of their choice.  This week, we’d like to honor all those who submitted articles, told others of our event, or made a personal commitment to donate to Habitat’s cause.  If we missed you, we promise it was a mistake.  Please let us know so we can ammend this article to include you!
