IN MEMORY OF MTLA MEMBER DONNA ORANGE

---

 Hello Friends,

Twice a year we assist the Hands of Mercy (HoM) charity to build houses for the poor in Mexico. This is an opportunity to lend a hand on a day of service outside of our cycling club.

On Saturday May 4th, construction of the walls will take place at Rolling Hill Covenant Church parking lot, location provided below. All are welcome including families and teens willing to use a hammer, help pick up nails, observe or just cheer everyone on! All you need is a hammer, closed toe shoes, sunscreen and a heart to serve.

Location:

Rolling Hills Covenant Church
2222 Palos Verdes Dr. N.
Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274

Then on Friday May 24th the partially built home is towed to Ensenada Mexico where on Saturday May 25th the house is assembled at the family’s build site. And then the team returns to LA on Sunday May 26th.

Whether at the church, to pre-fab the house, or to join the trip to Mexico, you're guaranteed a great feeling in your heart and a very happy and grateful less privileged family in Mexico.

ALL YOU NEED IS A GIVING HEART, AND A PASSPORT IF YOU ARE GOING TO MEXICO.

For the Pre-fab event on May 4th, I'll be out of town but Steve Bayne will be the lead for MTLA and I'll forward any additional information that I get. And as always, HoM will provide lunch at the Pre-Fab.
So please DM on Messenger or text Lyndon @ 213-925-0004 prior to May 3rd, so I can provide an estimate participant count.

Important Dates and Info:

Precut on Friday May 3rd: time TBD (we need new volunteers to lead the prefab, please contact Raul @ 310-808-8911 or Brian Schurman @ 310-701-1952.
