To the common area, we will also add a breakfast bar, a new large table and seating, a new TV and a children&#8217;s play area filled with toys and games.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">Volunteers are needed for painting prep, painting, light carpentry work, moving furniture and setting up beds, hanging artwork, etc. A link to sign-ups will be posted shortly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\">If you have questions or wish to make donations to this project, <a href=\"mailto:sabrons@gmail.com\">please contact Sara Abrons here<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 18, in partnership with Lotta Love, Southwest Durham Rotary,\u00a0the Rotary e-club of District 7710 and other area Rotary clubs will renovate four family bedrooms and one family common room at Urban Ministries in downtown Durham.
