11th Annual Hands On Athens April 9th-11th, 2010 Beginning Our 2nd Decade!!! Following ten great years of program growth and volunteer service to the community, Hands On Athens moves into decade number two this Spring. The HOA Selection Committee has chosen 14 project homes in the historic Hancock Corridor, East Athens, and Newtown neighborhoods for our project weekend April 9th, 10th & 11th. Last year’s project was without doubt the best ever, with more than 300 volunteers completing more than $100,000 of work on a dozen houses. This was the third project administered by Lori Latimer, who left HOA last summer and is greatly missed. Lori and our house captains and volunteers certainly worked hard during last year’s project weekend! We repaired roofs; we repaired and rebuilt porches; we landscaped and built walkways; we built porch and stair railings; we replaced over 100 light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs and made other energy efficient improvements; we made electrical repairs; made plumbing repairs and installed some low-flow toilets; we added gutters; we repaired bouncy floors; we replaced siding; we replaced windows; we replaced doors; we cleaned up yards; we repaired and replaced rotted wood; and we scraped, primed, and painted and painted and painted.
