Preparing for the Paint-A-Thon on October 26th

We flyered the neighborhood with the application to get houses painted. 2 have signed up and we are waiting to hear if they are qualified. Our next step will be to send out our house leaders to a meeting in Tempe where they will get instructions and everything they will need to successfully paint a house.

Since there are two possible houses we are going to be looking at other options that are needed in Granada Estates.

-Go door to door to get other people to qualify. This isn’t the safest of neighborhoods so there needs to be a group going together.

-Painting the house numbers on the sides of the streets. This wasn’t a satisfying activity as people were in groups of 4 but they were spread out.

-Painting one of the buildings of Cactus High School. This has to be done on the 19th or another date in November or December. This would also require some skill for the prep work.

-Flyering the neighborhood with Halloween alternative invitations. Only 15 people are needed.


Please pray for this event as our intern Lindsay will have a lot to do to get this organized. She will be working with the city and Neighborhood Transformation as well. Pray that the people we help will be receptive to developing relationships and that our work will make them proud of their homes. Pray for safety and for a good job done for these homeowners.
