Bird Houses for a Cure

I was reading an article about a guy and his wife who enjoy feeding wild birds in their garden.  They are also members of a church that like to raise money for good causes. This is about how they find a way to combined the two.

My wife & I have been feeding the birds in our area for a number of years. We love to feed and watch the Humming birds.

My wife and I are also team captains for a team in our church that participates in the Relay for Live campaign sponsored by the American Cancer Society.

We are always looking for ways to raise money for our team. This year we have combined our love of birds and ways to raise money to come up with "Bird houses for a cure".

I own a home repair and remodeling business and so with my wood working skills I have been designing and building bird houses.

I have taken pictures of the houses that I have built and put them in an email to all my friends which I sent out several days ago.

I have sold 3 bird houses modeled after a church. I have 6 different designs and continue to design one about every week.

My wife and I are looking forward to selling my bird houses as well as provide a home for our winged friends not to mention being able to raise money to help find a cure for cancer.

What a great idea!
