Over 60 strong, women ranging in age from
their late teens into their seventies, measured, cut, nailed and hoisted
the first floor walls on the Women Constructing Hope home this past weekend. 
The home, located in Old
North Village in Kingston will be built primarily by a crew of women
volunteers.
Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Roberts and former
president and general manager of WJAR-TV Lisa Churchville, honorary
co-chairs of the event, were on hand Saturday to help with our Women Constructing Hope weekend
build on October 19 and 20.
The next build weekend is November 2 and 3.
We are still recruiting women for November 3. No construction experience is
necessary, just a willingness to learn and to help a family in need.
This will be a great
opportunity to meet some great women who want to give back to their community.
We will have team leaders who will provide training and support to women who
have no construction experience.
