As part of Habitat for Humanity’s ongoing Gulf Coast
Recovery effort, and to raise awareness of the enormous needs that still exist
throughout the region after the storms of 2005, the 25th annual Jimmy and
Rosalynn Carter Work Project will be held in Biloxi
and Pascagoula, Mississippi May 11-16, 2008. We hope you can
join former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn, Habitat for
Humanity CEO Jonathan Reckford and our host affiliate, Habitat for Humanity of
the Mississippi Gulf Coast
for this important event. 

The Carter project has been renamed for 2008 to reflect the dedication and
contributions of the former First Lady and to celebrate the Carters’ 25th
anniversary of working with Habitat. The goal of the project is to draw
attention to the continuing need for affordable housing in the aftermath of the
storms and to celebrate the extraordinary contributions the Carters have made
to Habitat and its partner families over the last 25 years.

participants. The registration fee of $250
covers food, local ground transportation and a welcome bag which will include a
Carter Project 2008 T-shirt and hat.

--Double occupancy for a stay in a hotel is $850, but I was
really hoping we would be able to find a church to stay in for free. 

--I got a price quote from Enterprise for a 7-passenger van (fits 6 comfortably)
for the week and including tax, it is $429.11. I was also thinking perhaps
someone had a van who was interested in going.
