It has been a great ASP summer.

It has been a great ASP summer. I thought I'd share some of it.

As well as the youth trip during ASP week-5, July 10-17, Jay Widmayer made a special trip during week-8, August 1-7, especially due to a special need that ASP encountered mid-summer this year, namely, "Bobby".

Here is a compilation of Jay’s Widmayer’s Texts, and final STATUS from ASP staffers Jill Thrasher Hauserman and Kat Reach, after Jay’s ASP2010 week-8 excursion –

Following that is a Final Summer’s County Update message from ASP Staffer Kevin Lynch –

Happy Hiking, and God Bless,

Subject: Final Summes County Update!

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are all having a fantastic summer! I wanted to send you all one final update from Summers County: As of right now, we have finished all of our homes! We have been so blessed by the hard work that you gave to our families each week, and consequently we have been able to complete more on each of our projects than we had anticipated. And thanks to your generous donations, we have been able to get Bobby and his brother David running water and a septic system! The gifts you have given to all of our families mean the world to us, and we are so grateful we were able to serve alongside you all this summer. We hope that we will get to see you all again sometime, and we pray that you will be a blessing to your community just as you were to Summers.

Pictures of our county and work sites have been posted and will continue to be posted on our website: www.BuildANew You.org. Click on the Login button on the top right of the homepage, and you will be able to create an ASP profile, then join the Summers, WV group to see all our photos and updates!

Again, I wanted to thank you all for the amazing work you did while here in Summers. You were a blessing to the staff and a blessing to the families, and we sincerely hope that you will return next year to continue sharing your gifts with the deserving families of Appalachia.

God Bless,
Kevin Lynch
