Hands of Mercy - Tiny House Pre-Fab Volunteers
Hello Friends,
Twice a year we assist the Hands of Mercy charity to build houses for the poor in Mexico.
On Saturday Sept 30th construction of the walls will take place at Rolling Hill Covenant Church (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!
Location:
Rolling Hills Covenant Church
2222 Palos Verdes Dr. N.
Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274
Then on Friday Oct 13 the partially built home is towed to Ensenada Mexico where on Saturday Oct 14 the house is assembled at the family’s build site. Then the team returns to LA on Sunday Oct 15.
Whether at the church to pre-fab the house or to go together 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).
I will have a limited number of hammers and package of gloves on-hand, just in case. HoM will provide lunch at the Pre-Fab on Sept 30th. Please DM on Messenger or text Lyndon @ 213-925-0004 so I can provide an estimated participant count.

Let's talk Palm Springs.....
A WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT...
Friday: Grab your packets at the TDPS festival and watch our Travel Page on Facebook for information.
For those joining me on the ride to Palm Springs from my house, I will be leaving promptly at 7:30am for the 62 mile, relatively flat (there is one climb) route into Palm Springs. The kit color for that ride is blue. Remember, this is a one way ride and you will need transportation back to my house on Sunday to retrieve your vehicle.
Saturday: Official TDPS ride day: kit color is Pedal Mafia White. If you do not have the new white kit, please wear the classic Champion white kit. Most will do the 56 mile ride. Our meet up spot is the lobby of the Hilton Hotel at 7:30am. We want to take our group picture before the official ride start time of 8:00am. For those doing the 102 miler, we will meet you in the lobby at 6:30am for the group picture.
Sunday: We will do a short Sunday recovery ride leaving at 8:00am from the Hilton Hotel. The ride pace will be very easy and something everyone can enjoy. We will do the same 25 mile (550ft) ride that we did last year. The kit color is Pedal Mafia Black. If you do not have the new black kit, please wear the classic Champion black kit.
