Enjoying a meal together: L to R, Charles, Carol (leaders), Rose, Irv, Debbie, Thom, Steve, Sandy, Emma (Wesley Operations Director) Betty (Wesley Exec. Director), Joyce

    We arrived at Wesley Community Center in Phoenix Saturday, Jan. 25th and set up camp in their parking lot. We had a total of 5 NOMADS couples on this project including our leaders Charles & Carol Townsend from Washington state, Irv & Rose Barrett from Portales NM, Thom & Debbie Abrahamson from Lemoore CA, Steve & Sandy Drake from Tulsa OK. Thom & Deb and Steve & Sandy are full-time RVer's. 


    The Wesley CC is community health center primarily and has a very active after school program as well. During the 3 weeks were there we completed numerous projects for them.

We built a center privacy wall in the lab
We built a new reception desk & counter
Sandy painting the new short wall
Irv & Steve installing new cabinets in office
New swinging door we built and installed
The restrooms were cleaned and painted
The janitor closet was given fresh paint
The ladies cleaned and organized the kitchen

     We had a fantastic 3 weeks working with our fellow NOMADS. The people at the medical center were friendly and very cooperative as well.

     While in the Phoenix area we went over to my sister, Gwen's house to visit her and my parents. We try to do some chores that they need done while we are there visiting. This year we built ramps to the back door and the storage shed.
