The Family

Our reunion is tomorrow. Already.  Wow.  We are going to get to see some old friends.  But tomorrow we are also going to make some new ones.  Because tomorrow we are going to meet the family who will be living in the house the Cobblers will build. For those of you who can't be here, I'd like to tell you her story. She gave me permission to share online, but I will not use her name.  This is the internet, after all. 

Our recipient is a single mom with 5 children. The oldest is a nine year old boy.  The youngest is a little eight month old girl. There are three more girls in between, ages 3, 5, and 8.  

She grew up in another part of South Dakota in a 1.5 bedroom home with no running water or electricity and walked to an outhouse that was a quarter mile away from her house. She has lived in South Dakota, Nebraska, and Hawaii before settling here in Rapid City.  She has known about Habitat since she was a little girl, and she has volunteered for Habitat in the past.

She graduated from high school in 2000 and then spent the next nine years trying to get through college. During her college years she worked full time and was a single mother. She is currently divorced, but during her marriage she was the primary supporter of her family.  She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work in 2009. 

Now, she works for Rural American Initiatives Early Head Start.  Her primary title is "Health Advocate", but she plays many roles.  Her responsibilities include prenatal services, administrative assistant, and safety director. She really is the "face" of the program. 

On June 27, 2011 she and her five children became homeless.  One year later, on June 27, 2012 she received a call from Habitat saying that she would be the Project 77 Blitz Build homeowner! That same day she took all of her kids to Menards to pick out paint for their bedrooms.  Each one picked out FOUR colors.  This will be their first room without white walls. While the kids are excited about being able to paint their rooms, she is anxious to be able to decorate her home with family quilts, pictures, and drawings that her children have made.

This hard working woman will be joining us for dinner on Friday, and will spend a couple of days helping us build her house next week.  I hope the house we build will serve her well.  She is raising 5 future Cobblers!

The Biggest Show in Town!

Here are some Scenes from our fundraising dinner and pie auction.

We invited our friends, family, and fellow Cobblers to join us for dinner. What better setting than our old third floor gym.....

Rich Copeland and his band provided the entertainment.

Donna Maloney was in charge of the menu. The committee members provided the food. Pies were donated by committee members, friends, and local businesses. Kirk from Servall fixed us up with table linens.


Scott McCaskell and Jim Wood did some brainstorming and used their incredible talent to build some very creative centerpieces for the tables.



We had a grand turnout, probably 200 people. Our friends were generous and the evening was a huge success. Thanks to everyone for all of your hard work and dedication to this project.

A special thank you to the staff and kids from Dakota Middle School who helped set up the tables, unload our vehicles, and clean up our mess. We had less than three hours for set-up, and we couldn't have done it without your help! We really appreciate DMS allowing us to use the gym.

Another special thank you to the kids from the Central High School Learn and Serve program for coming to help set up, serve, and greet our guests.  You all were awesome!

And, of course, thank you to the people and businesses who donated food, drinks, pies and items for our silent auction.

Technology and the Class of 1977

When we were kids our televisions were black and white and only had one or two channels.  I remember how excited we were when the dishwasher and microwave oven came on the scene.  We learned how to type on electric typewriters in junior high.  I'll bet none of us ever imagined that we'd become so dependant on that keyboard in our golden years.  Or have we? 

I'd like to say I'm up on all the newest technology.  I have a cell phone and a flat screen TV. I play on my computer all the time, but I am still just in kindergarten when it comes to really using it.  I finally learned how to set the digital clocks in the house, but my kids are constantly having to show me how to do things with my cell phone. I hate that darned touch screen.  And heaven forbid....I can't watch a movie at home if Erin isn't here to start it for me.  Forget programming it to record something for later. I'll never get that right.

I assumed it was just me having trouble adjusting.  I look around and see everyone else doing just fine with all of the new stuff out there.  So, when we started working on Project 77 I thought we should go with the flow and use technology to our advantage.  Thus, the Ebay auction and the Chipin widget for donations. (Go to the first post on this blog if you don't know what the widget is.)  It took a lot of monkeying around with all of it, but I finally figured out how to get it out there.  Then, all we had to do was sit back and wait for everyone jump in and start using it. 

As it turns out, I was wrong.  We are not there yet.  Our generation is not as addicted to technology as we'd like to think we are.  We still write checks.  We don't trust the computers.  I don't even have a debit card.  I do have a PayPal account for occasional online purchases, but I'm not brave enough to pay all of my bills on line yet.  Many of us have email accounts and maybe even a Facebook account, but how many actually check  messages regularly and ever look at their facebook? 

On the flip side.....technology isn't as great as we'd like to think it is, either.  Prime example.....our widget.  We wanted something that would be easy to use.  I think it is easy.  We didn't want to have to handle and keep track of the money.  With the widget, the money is deposited directly into a special account at Habitat. Perfect. We also wanted to be able to show our progress with some sort of thermometer.  Our widget does that. The catch, however, is that it only shows our progress with the donations that are made via the widget.....  I was mistaken when I thought everyone would jump at the chance to donate electronically.  Not true. The check is still in the mail....... Thanks for sending them!  We just don't know how to add them to our thermometer.

Folks, don't let the widget fool you.  We really do have more than 10 people who believe in this dream.  We have our own separate account at Habitat and it is growing.  We will reach our goal, with or without the help of modern technology.  But really......you should give eBay a try.  It's actually kind of fun. And if you do go back to the first entry on this blog to see what a widget is, maybe you could bite your lip and give that a try, too. You CAN teach an old dog new tricks!

Quilts and Trains

Ok.  Our purpose is to build a house.  I put my blinders on and I have moved forward towards that goal.  Live it. Breathe it.  Go for it.  Get the house built.  Whatever it takes.

It never occurred to me that I would learn something in the process. Or that I would find total strangers who actually care about our project.......in cyberspace.

I have two friends who wanted to help.  They aren't from the class of '77.  They just wanted to be a part of our project because they believe it is worthwhile.   And they are my friends.  One donated a quilt she inherited from her aunt's estate.  The other donated her dad's model train collection.  It became my mission to get the most out of these incredible gifts for two reasons.  I didn't want to let either of them go to waste, and I wanted to honor the memory of their loved ones.

I went to work researching old quilts and trains online.  I had local people look at my treasures and give me their opinions about how best to proceed.  I emailed photos to friends who know trains.  I found quilt appraisers online and sent about a dozen of them a request for guidance.  (In other words, a free appraisal).   I scoured eBay to find similar items for sale.  I learned more about quilts and trains than I ever thought possible.  And I learned something about people. 

Surprisingly, almost all of the quilt appraisers responded to my email. Most of them were somewhat helpful.  Some were not.  One was actually a little devious and offered to buy it for a very small price rather than have me waste my time posting it on eBay.  One, however, requested that I mail her the photos so she could see them better.  Immediately upon receiving the photos, she found the answers to all of my questions in her reference books and returned the photos to me the next day, along with the answers to my questions. The quilt is of considerable value, but the market is depressed and we probably would not get top dollar for it on eBay right now.  Maybe we should try a raffle instead.  No charge.  Best of luck with your project.  (Thank you Pam!  Raffle tickets are $2 each and the drawing will be July 20 at our kick-off dinner.) 

I did post the trains on the eBay auction.  There were a lot of them.  After talking to the expert at the 1880 train museum I had a figure in mind.  I began posting the pieces or sets one by one. I added a disclaimer that I'm not an expert on trains and I'd try to answer questions. I added a paragraph about Project 77 to each and every auction I posted.  It took me over two months to get everything up.  Pieces were selling.  It seemed pretty easy once I got started.  I became a shipping machine.

Then one day I started getting messages from other people on eBay.  One of my buyers was not happy with the way I had described the item he bought.  After a sincere apology and explanation of my ignorance, and an offer of a refund, he kindly said it was not really a big deal, he'd already fixed the problem. He just wanted me to know.  The same day I got two more notes from eBay shoppers who noticed the train listings and offered information, observations, or advice about the items for sale. This continued to happen.  I learned about trucks, chassis, couplers, wheel arrangements, you name it...  I ended up recruiting a couple of these people to help me with the last few listings.  I had saved the best for last, and I was procrastinating because I didn't want to mess it up.  We shared emails and I sent photos of the pieces.  One kind man named Ben even called me on the phone to discuss the strategy.  Then he offered to review the listings before I posted them just to make sure I had it right. He reviewed all of my remaining listings and helped me make corrections in them. Then he wished me luck. I thanked him for his help and noted that maybe we'd be able to build a couple of walls in the house with these last few pieces.  He suggested that the whole house would be nice....

I listed the last four items.  The cream of the crop.  I knew it was going to be good.   Midway through the week I sent him a note.  "Are you watching?  This is amazing!"  He responded with great encouragement that it was only going to get better.  I also got a note from a bidder who confirmed something Ben had suspected about one of the locomotives. The bidder said he'd probably regret telling me because it was worth far more than what he was bidding.....  I thanked him and wished him luck and left the description alone. 

Yesterday the auctions ended and the items sold for amazing prices.  At the end of it all I received a note from Ben.  He'd been watching.  "You did good".   He was right.  We had exceed our goal by almost $800.00.  

Now I need to find something else to sell.  I guess that's a good incentive for me to do my spring cleaning. I should warn my family to lock up anything they might want to keep!

Frequently Asked Questions about Project 77

Will we get together as a group for our reunion?

YES! We will have a kickoff party on July 20, and a dedication event on the last day. Everyone is invited, even if you are not able to help with the build. There is no charge for either of these events. Dinner will be served at the kickoff party and there will be a cash bar and a band.

Where and when will we build the house?

The lot is near Central High School, right behind the Civic Center. Our build dates are July 21-29, 2012. We plan to break each day into two segments of four hours each, so we will be done by 5:00 each day, hopefully.

Can we really build the house in one week?

The groundwork will all be completed before we arrive. On day one, we will be raising walls. Each day we will break into teams and each team will have a team leader who will keep the project on track. In the event that we aren’t able to complete the house because of weather or other unforeseen circumstances, we will hold the dedication ceremony on the last day as planned, and those of us who are available will finish the project.

Who will live in the house?
Habitat will choose the family based on eligibility. However, if we know of someone who might meet the requirements, we can encourage them to apply. The Habitat office is located in the Wells Fargo building across from the YMCA. You can get more information on eligibility on the Habitat website.

How are we going to pay for this project?
We are raising money through donations and special fundraising activities. Donations of goods and services will also be applied to our $50,000 fundraising goal.

What if I can’t be here for the whole week?
You are welcome to attend as much or as little as you wish. There will be something for everyone to do, even if you have no idea what to do with a hammer and a nail or a paintbrush. We just need some idea when everyone is planning to be there so we can organize our teams accordingly. Please let us know in advance what days you plan to help, and if you will work in the morning, afternoon, or both.

What types of fundraising activities will there be?
***
We are having a fundraiser at Chili’s on January 17th and 19th. Chili’s will donate 10% of your ticket on those days if you show them a voucher. Vouchers were sent to everyone who is on our e-mail list. Contact us by email if you need one. Sneffjarvi@aol.com

***On the third Monday of every month between now and July Pauly’s Subs on West Main will donate 10% of their sales from 4-9 pm. So, mark your calendars for February 20, March 19, April 16, May 21, June 18, and July 16 and make it a point to grab supper at Pauly’s.

***On Tuesday, April 3 we will be having a fundraising dinner, music,, and silent pie auction at Dakota Middle School in our old third floor gym. We need volunteers to sponsor a table of 8. Sponsors will invite enough people to fill the table and will bring an assigned menu item for the buffet meal. No charge for the meal. Hopefully our guests will feel moved enough about our project to make a donation or bid on a pie at the silent auction. T-shirts will also be available for sale at the dinner. Please contact us ASAP if you want to sponsor a table. If you don’t live here, but you think your parents or local family members might like to join us, let us know and we’ll invite them.

***We have an ongoing eBay charitable auction. This project is great for people who don’t live close enough to participate in the local fundraisers. You can buy or sell items on the auction site, and all of the money is handled electronically. You choose the percentage you wish to donate for the items you sell. This is a tax deductible donation.

All of the proceeds from the fundraisers will be used for materials for the house. We are also selling T-shirts. The proceeds from the T-shirts will be used to help defray expenses incurred by the Class of 1977 for the parties, postage, printing, etc.

Is my donation tax deductible?
Yes. All of the donations to Habitat are tax deductible, including the items you sell on the eBay auction.

Tell me more about the eBay auction.
It’s easy to buy and sell items on our eBay auction site. Anyone can participate in this fundraiser. You don’t have to be a member of our class to buy or sell on this site, but all of the money donated will go to our project. It’s amazing what people will buy. Think of it as a worldwide flea market. You can also think of it as a way to chip away at all of that extra stuff you have packed in the basement and the attic. Remember, one man’s junk……..

The instructions on eBay are pretty easy to follow. All you need is a Pay Pal account. Once you are set up as a seller on eBay, you just list your item, choose Black Hills Area Habitat for Humanity as your charity, and decide what percentage you wish to donate. EBay will notify you when the item sells and again when the buyer has made the payment. When you receive notice from eBay that the buyer has paid for the item, you will be able to print a packing list and shipping label from your computer. This also generates a tracking number so your buyer can know when to expect it and you will know when it is delivered. It is very easy. You pay for the postage via Pay Pal with the money you received from the buyer. Once the transaction is completed, your donation will be sent to Habitat directly from your Pay Pal account. Most of the insertion fees are waived for the listings. You might have to pay a few cents for extra pictures or enhancements to your listings.

You will have a donation account on eBay and will be able to keep track of all of your selling activity. They will even provide you with a receipt for your income tax.

A few suggestions……

When deciding how much of the proceeds to contribute, bear in mind that there may be some minor costs incurred in the listing. You could choose to donate 80% or 90% of the proceeds and save back a little to cover those costs. That way you can still donate without any out of pocket expenditures.

Know in advance how you plan to ship the item and how much the package weighs. Buyer pays for shipping, so you need to include the shipping cost when you list the item. The easiest way is to use the flat rate boxes. You can estimate shipping for your listing, but if the shipping price you list doesn’t turn out to be the actual cost to ship, then you either make up the difference or you make a little extra money. Also, you have the option to exclude certain areas of the world from your auction, so you can choose to just sell things in the continental US. That makes it much easier for shipping purposes.

Include as much information as possible in the listing and be as honest as you can about the items you are selling. If you don’t know all of the details about an item, admit it and let the buyer know the item is being sold as is. Sometimes it pays to spend a little extra money to include more than one picture.

Ship the item as soon as possible after the buyer pays.

Listings last for 7 days. If the item doesn’t sell the first time, it just takes a couple of clicks to relist it and try again.


I have an item for the auction, but I don’t want to list it myself. Can I just donate the item?

YES! We can list the item on eBay for you, but can’t guarantee that you will be able to get a tax deduction for the donation. We are checking into this. If you can get the item to one of the committee members, we will be glad to sell it on the auction site. We will not be responsible for returning it to you if it doesn’t sell.

Can I just make a cash donation?

YES! There are four ways you can donate electronically. We have a Chip-in widget that will allow you to donate securely with a credit card or via Pay Pal. You can find the widget on the blog and on the Habitat website. You can also find it on the Chip-In website. The widget has a thermometer to track our progress, but unfortunately, it only tracks the donations that are made this way. The eBay auction site also has a tab that will allow you to make a donation without having to buy or sell anything. Blog site: http://cobblerproject77.blogspot.com/2011/10/project-77.html

If you don’t want your address on Habitat’s mailing list, send your donation to the reunion committee and we will see to it that it is deposited into the account anonymously. Send those donations to:
Project 77
P.O. Box 402
Hill City, SD  57745
How can I follow our fundraising progress?
Donations made via the Chip-in Widget online will be tracked with a thermometer. Habitat is working on a way to build another thermometer on the Habitat website that will add all of the donations received through direct donations, eBay, and the other fundraisers. That is a work in progress and we will keep you posted.

What if we don’t meet our fundraising goal?
We won’t have as much money to spend on materials. But remember, goods and services are included in our fundraising goals. Every little bit helps. We are going to build this house. If everyone helps even just a little bit, the results will be amazing.

How can I stay in the loop?
Updates and pictures will be posted on our blog site and on our Facebook group page. Central High School also has an alumni website where we can post information. Emails will be sent to everyone who has provided a valid email address. Due to the high cost of postage, we are trying to avoid mass mailings. So, if you haven’t responded to the initial letter that was sent out in November and you aren’t on our e-mail list, you will probably not hear from us again.
