Handy Dandy Handyman to hold silent auction
The Hand Dandy Handyman Ministry (HDHM), a nonprofit organization that helps local residents in need, will hold a silent auction May 6 and 7. Proceeds from the auction will be shared with the Dorothy Day Homeless Shelter and soup kitchen. Two local families donated the contents of their home to the event. Also, a local hardware store that recently closed its doors, donated all remaining inventory to the auction.
HDHM is still looking for donations, including clean, high quality items in good working order, such as home furnishings, electric power equipment, appliances, children's and adults bikes and lawn care machines. They will also accept items such as tickets to entertainment or sporting events and gift certificates to local restaurants and shops.
The auction will be held in the Vision Engineering Building at 101 Commerce Drive in Brookfield. Contact peter

The Healing Hearts Bereavement Center
The Healing Hearts Bereavement Center in Danbury CT is an organization that provides free services to the community when a family experiences the loss of a loved one, and is always standing by with a loving heart.
We were asked to support them with a spring clean-up this year since there are only a few who work there and can not do it all themselves. Since many of our school kids are on Spring Break next week, this would be an ideal way to gain the much needed COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS for this wonderful outreach project.
Task:
Tuesday morning April 17, 2007
Need 15 men, women and teens
Meet me at Saint Joseph Church lot at 8AM
Bring your lunch, a rake and a shovel if you can
Any other garden tool will work

From Pete's Repeats this morning at 5:17AM 4/12/2007 Thursday morning:
Urgent Need:
We have a client with a baby who just celebrated her 1st birthday and has Cystic Fibrosis. Her doctors have strongly suggested she breathe with the help of air purifier brand "IQ Air Health Pro Plus". Since the new purifier cost $750.00 and the mom can ill afford such an item, is there anyone out in Handy Dandy Land who might know where there may be a free unit meeting this description. They are is disparate need if this specific unit to keep this child breathing without any trouble. We can provide a tax deductible receipt for your donation.
RESPONSE
At 5:38AM this morning, a very generous donor to HDHM has advise me that he will be sending us a check to cover that special breathing equipment for the one year old child struggling with Cystic Fibrosis with breathing difficulties. The check for $750.00 will cover all costs. How nice is that? God is GOOD.
Have a blessed day.
