Our community is better because of you!
When he isn’t at his “Real job”,
Frank Iliff spends his time and talents doing the thing he loves to do,
What he would like to do when he grows up;
Assisting those in need and making old people cry!
(Tears of joy of course!)
For several months,
He has been working with some folks in Cedar Rapids to help a budding non-profit there.
This non-profit will in turn,
Help those in their own neighborhoods who need a hand.
Not a hand out – But a hand up.
Yesterday’s event got some local television coverage –
Read about it here, and if you click the link,
You can see the actual news broadcast.
I wonder how many people he made cry this time?
CR School Gets Massive Facelift Updated: Thursday, June 5 2014, 05:52 AM CDT CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS2/FOX28) – Hundreds of local volunteers with help from a national nonprofit are giving the former Lincoln Elementary School building a facelift. The 104-year-old building will be worked on all day by “Rebuilding Together” and will be transformed into the “Lincoln Learning Center”. Marcy Jones stopped by the work site to see how the entire community can benefit from the new space.
The day came on cool, sunny and beautiful.
The only connection being that they are neighbors; other people living in the same town,
needing the same thing that Rebuilding Together Muscatine County wishes to provide –
The day came not without surprises, both large and small,
but our House Captains and volunteers were up to the task!
Thank you also to those who volunteered by;
Providing financing for us, feeding us, photographing us, showing up at our Trivia Night fundraiser, telling their friends and neighbors about us.
Your RTMC Board Thanks You!

It Just Needs Done

The Problem
Being wheel chair bound and having some other health issues, it was impossible for Frank to bathe in the tub without endangering himself.
The Solution
With the help of the Rebuilding Together Team and some specialty items purchased just for his home, Frank is now able to bathe without fear of causing an emergency for himself.
The Rebuilding Together Muscatine County team and the Happy Recipients
Some other modifications were made to Frank and Nellie’s home to enable easier living for wheel chair living.
Frank’s sister Nellie says now they feel safe in their home.
Yard Crew
Lots of work was done to beautify the yard so it will be more enjoyable for Frank and Nellie, with less maintenance.
Frank and Nellie now enjoy a smooth concrete ramp with a sturdy rail, so enjoying their new yard, is even safer.
