Habitat 2009 CCW Project

jimh2006 — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:33:34 +0000

On a beautiful fall day, more than fifteen Tulsa legal administrators, business partners and guests joined Tulsa’s Habitat for Humanity in beginning a new house build. We began with a “clean slate,” a freshly poured foundation with no walls.

Our job was simple, erect all of the exterior and interior walls before we left for the day. By 1:00 p.m. the project was completed, the walls were up, and many parts of our bodies were sore.

But, the joy of helping those in need, working with and building deeper friendships, made it all worth while. What will be in store for next year?

Habitat For Humanity Project - 2008 CCW

jimh2006 — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 21:45:16 +0000

What happens when one gathers 20 ALA members, vendors, family members and vinyl siding? A lot of teamwork and fun! On the windy morning of Saturday, November 8, we met at a north Tulsa location where 4 houses were being completed in time for the families to move in before Thanksgiving. Our mission - to install vinyl siding on all four of the sheds - and to make it tougher - the siding had to match the color of each house!

I don’t know about you but I have never installed siding before but thanks to the teamwork and a little guidance from the contractor we completed the project by 1:00 that day with no major injuries to boot! Albeit, I had a hard time getting out of bed the next day but I believe fun was had by all and several of us have learned a new skill or two.

Some noteworthy comments received were as follows: A worthy and productive project. Thank you for inviting us. I sure had a good time doing it- never have done siding myself, so that was an experience! Always fun to watch the dynamics on group projects! Our office had a wonderful time and we all enjoyed it as well! We all kicked butt! It was FUN!!! I did enjoy the project and have the added knowledge that we could side a house in a pinch!

2008 Smile Train Project

jimh2006 — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:06:40 +0000

Help Change the World—One Smile at a Time

In 2008, as part of the 10th anniversary of Community Challenge Weekend (CCW), ALA celebrated this milestone by undertaking a special one-time organizational effort to help make a difference in the lives of children around the world. For this commitment, we were asked to support The Smile Train, an international charity whose mission is to provide free surgeries to thousands of children who suffer from cleft lips and palates.

Clefts are a major problem in developing countries. Most children with unrepaired clefts cannot eat or speak properly, aren’t allowed to attend school or hold a job, and face very difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain, and heartache.

Since 2000, The Smile Train has provided this important surgery for more than 350,000 children who would otherwise never receive it. (The average age of a Smile Train patient is 6 years old.) The organization also has helped train over 23,000 medical professionals and has established programs and partners in 76 countries.

While one might think that these surgeries are expensive and take a lot or time … that is not the case. Cleft repair surgery is relatively inexpensive to perform (as little as $250) and takes as little as 45 minutes. That’s all it takes to give a desperate child not just a new smile, but a new life.

The Tulsa Chapter participated by selling Montag Candles (Montag being a local Tulsa area vendor) during the holidays. Through the efforts of several firms, we are sending Smile Train a check in the amount of $1,422.84 which will help change the lives of 6 children as they receive corrective surgery for their “smiles”. Thanks to all the firms that participated by selling candles.
