As you may know, Palm Harbor Homes, Inc. announced that we will be joining ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for an upcoming build in mid-November in West Texas.
Now all we need is volunteers!!!!!! Click here.
We will have two informational Pep Rallies next week – Monday Nov 8th at 6 PM in Midland, TX and Tuesday Nov 9th at 6 PM in Lubbock TX.
What is a Pep Rally? It’s an informational meeting where Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Senior Producer Milan Vasic presents the history of the show and explains the process of building a home in a week! It is TRULY an around the clock endeavor – from start to finish. The perception of some people is that because it is such a large television production backed by ABC, a huge television network partnering up with a large homebuilder that all of this is easy to plan, coordinate and complete. The truth I learned after going thru one of the build cycles is that this entire event is ONLY possible thru the help and support and HARD WORK of the volunteers! Without you, this amazing gift to such a deserving family simply will not happen!
Who is eligible? We need anybody and everybody. We need skilled labor but we also need people who are just willing to do anything that needs to be done. We need donations but we also need people wanting to get their hands dirty. We need people who love the show but we also need people who simply want to help a deserving family. We need people who live in the area but we also need people who are willing to travel. Basically, we need anybody and everybody willing to do the hard work of charity – work that rewards way beyond any other type of work.
So – grab a hammer, lace up your work boots (or buy some. I got mine at Wal Mart for $20) and head to West Texas for a life-changing experience – for you and for the recipient family.
This will be the second time the popular television program has featured a home built by Palm Harbor Homes. Although the name of the family and the location of the home site cannot be released until the week of November 16, one of several deserving families in West Texas has been selected as the recipient for a new Palm Harbor home and a life changing event.
If your company is interested in being a sponsor and sending a group of employees, email me.

If someone can please contact me. I have been waiting to be called to volunteer. I also lost a dear friend on the same road many years ago. I also know what it feels to loose a child. I lost my son 3 years ago in a tragic accident. He had just turned 8 years old six days before his death. It would mean a great deal to me to be given the opportunity to help this family. Thank you and God bless.

I’ll be at an art teacher convention on November 11-14th. Please let me know what you are looking for and I’ll see what I can come up with!
I also donated a flattened bottle for the kitchen of the last home and I would love to do that again for this one.
