Volunteer

All,
I would like to thank everyone who helped with the Rebuilding Together Program for 2011. It was a success. We helped bring better light to classrooms. We helped make a Community Center electrically safer, more energy efficient and repaired a phone system that was on its last leg. We restored the P.A. system at a Senior Center so that “Bingo” can live again. These examples just scratch the surface of the amount of work we completed this year. Our goal this year was to have enough labor so no Electrician got stuck working a 12 hour day. I believe most of the McMillan Electric sites were started at 8am and done by 1:00pm. We had Electricians stepping up to the plate to voulenteer that have been with McMillan for 30 years to guys that have been here less than 30 days. I have been volunteering with this program for the past 12 years and this was the best McMillan turn out yet. It was a great effort and it showed. I have been getting very appreciative feedback from the facilitators of these sites.

Thank you again,

Paul Mitchell
Service Manager

Hello everyone,
I want to thank everyone for giving up their time on Saturday to help someone you don't even know. Everyone I talked to said they felt real good about what they did and it was a good day. and everyone did a great thing, you should be proud of what you accomplished. Paul Mitchell and Tom Burrows really took control of this mission. I may get the phone calls but these two individuals are way ahead of everyone. The pictures I have will be on our website and if you have more please send them.

Thank you for the help.
Steve
