South Pasadena Rotary *heart* Corazon...part 2

Pretty much sums it up!!!

Of course, work or no, there's always room for high fashion!!!

Fashionista extraordinaire!!!!

One of the unusual aspects of this build was the involvement of the family...the kids and dad all participated in the building, painting, putting up walls...mom fixed lunch and helped with the tile setting for the kitchen shelf...

Our favorite little one was supervising...

and making sure there were plenty of lady bugs for the garden...

Isn't he the past president from 2008-2009???

A seasoned veteran...3 super builds!!!

Putting up walls isn't always a bad thing...

Experiement in red...

Note to self...find pink work gloves for next Super Build!!!

Sometimes you just have to stop for a minute and hold up a beam...

Contemplating the tailgate party in the motel's parking lot with an ice cold Tecate...

Are you sure this is where the window goes???

Ok...so this is the real designated SoPas Rotarian photographer...(sorry George...I've been horning in on your territory ever since I got the camera bug!!!)

Stay tuned for installment #3!!!

South Pasadena Rotary and Corazon...a Winning Combination!!!

This was the Hubman's and my fourth trip to Tecate Mexico to build a house in a day with Rotary District 5300 and Corazon. Now, what's unusual about this trip you say??? This year, instead of just a few SoPasadenans joining the Rotary District to help build houses in one of their "Super Builds", the Hubman had the brilliant idea that the SoPas Rotary chapter ought to build one house on their own!!! It was a grand international project for our club, and a personal project for the Hubman, and a grand example of "be careful what you ask for"...he was selected to head up the project for the club. There were fundraisers to plan and volunteers to coerce...actually, it was easy getting people to volunteer...signing up on the website volunteer page was a whole other matter...

The Hubman looking official, at 6am in the morning...

Hmmm....another designated photographer??? I thought he was a contractor...

Uh-oh!!! More competition!!!

South Pas Rotary proud to announce their project in progress...

Now isn't she just the cutest??? The cat too??? This little lady captured the hearts and photo shots of all the Rotarians building her family's new home...oh...and the cat? I think her name was wet noodle 'cause she folded in just about every direction in that little girl's arms, and didn't mind it a bit!!!

Isn't she just the cutest???

According to our friend Carrie (my photographer's assistant on the trip and translator extraordinaire), the kitty being folded and held by our little sweetheart here, did not have a name, until the end of the day. The family named her Corazon!!!

Check back in a couple of days for the next installment of South Pasadena and Corazon!!!
