"You'll never learn without trying"

A light, but important message from my youth. Are these type of PSAs still around in cartoons?




What type of efforts are you exploring to help with our Hero Housing drive? Whatever it is, keep at it! And if you need any help, email me.

"How often do you really get to use your soul?"

Professor Samuel Mockbee founded The Rural Studio as a project back in 1993 for the Auburn University. His work in rural Alabama, up until his death in 2001, closely aligns with the efforts and ideology of Hero Housing. The Rural Studio is still in existence. This video highlights Hale County Alabama and the impact of such programs.

New Page for Contributors

Hello everyone,

We have a new page for Contributors.  If any supporters would like to be recognized, please let me know and I'll put your picture up on the page.  Of course we'll be respectful of anyone who wishes to remain anonymous, but sometimes recognition, especially for something so well intentioned, is a good thing.

As another update, I've been hearing some wonderful feed back regarding student ideas for contributions.   I look forward to sharing them with you in the Efforts page once they are ironed out. 

Thanks for visiting the page.  We're at nearly 300 views in just a week!

Information Regarding Donor Support From HERO

I received this email yesterday.  Once the website function is up and running, I'll create a walk through video of how to donate. It is important LCTA has a way to track our contributions so we can measure our success. So in the mean time, let's brainstorm for ideas (Check the Efforts page to the right).

Hi Michael

Great to speak w/ you yesterday.  I did want to get back to you with 2 answers to questions you had. 

a)  We can add a button, for your group, on our website to track the groups fund raising.  We won't be able to track the sales on-line but can send out a weekly email from now until the event to give updates.  When you can, let me know the name you want on your button

b)  HERO will be able to send a printed receipt for paypal donations.  We will add a note on the website for people to click if they want a printed receipt.  For all donations made by check, we send printed receipts out each Friday.


Please feel Free to 'Follow' this blog...synergy helps!
