Announcing the Builders Care Holiday TV Schedule
Builders Care has come to the aid of many, and they have incredible stories to tell. This is why Builders Care will air the Builders Care TV Show, a series of six shows about repairing and rebuilding homes for those unable to make the repairs themselves. Tune in every Sunday starting at 6 p.m. on Comcast Cable Channel 7 throughout the holidays.

U.S.O. Rest Area at JIA
We are building the U.S.O. Rest Area in the Jacksonville International Airport. These young military folks traveling through and from JIA simply need a decent place with a kind word to wait for various flights. The facility will seat at least 24, have a 42-inch big screen TV (TV by Engle Homes), X-Box games, and comfortable rest areas.
We are currently looking for trade partners and corporate and individual support to make this happen! Some of these folks will not be coming home. The least we can do is give them a seat. Please contact Bill or Robin with your support for this project.

United Way Sign Up Time
United Way Giving - Designate Builders Care
It is that time of year again for those of you who give to United Way. But, did you know that you can designate who United Way gives your money to? Without taking an additional penny out of your pocket, you can be a Builders Care donator!
Simply put BUILDERS CARE in the designation area. This can be done through the e-mail or paper United Way form. By giving to Builders Care you can actually see where your money is going, who it is helping, and we give you the opportunity to come help those who are benefitting from your donation through our volunteer workdays. What a great deal!
So, this year spread the word to all your friends and co-workers about how they can help Builders Care without spending any extra dollars than they already give. The designation area on the paper form is on the back, in the lower right hand corner. Simply enter Builders Care under designated giving. On the e-mail form there is a separate area to designate what companies you want to give your donation to. Although Builders Care is not on the United Way list of numbered companies, you can designate that your donation goes to Builders Care.
Thank you for all of your support.

Builders Care TV Show Premieres Saturday, Aug. 12!
Don’t forget the TV SHow is this Saturday night, August 12th, at 7:00 pm. You will probably be watching the game, but we start before the Jags do! We work hard to get the Builders Care message out and count on friends like you. So, please spread the word to any of your friends that may be interested in Builders Care! I think this is one of our best shows. It is about the Bell family whose lives were drastically changed in a motorcycle accident. Builders Care and Cordele builders stepped forward to rebuild their lives and their home. Please, let us know what you think.

In Case You Missed It!...
The Builders Care TV Show re-runs every Wednesday on Comcast Ch. 7 at 7:00 pm.
Please tune in... And, support Our Sponsors!

Builders Care Angelwood Project Begins Friday, July 28, 2006
JACKSONVILLE, FL - July 25, 2006
There's always a next project, a next home or organization that needs help. That next project for
Builders Care is Angelwood.(www.angelwoodjax.org).

Angelwood provides group homes and respite care for children and adults with disabilities. One house, which is home to five precious women, is where Builder's Care and John Molyneaux and family will perform the next 'miracle'. Angelwood exists to improve the quality of life for the disabled. They offer 24-hour supervision, training and development courses to enable all those who come to live their life to the fullest. For two weeks in August, Builders Care exists to serve this wonderful organization.

Often families with disabled children are torn apart by the day to day care and attention required when one family member has a mental or physical disability. Statistics show the divorce rate for these families is more than 85%.

The improvements Builders Care will make to this Angelwood home will provide an area for respite care available to all families in our community who simply need someone who is qualified to love and care for their family member while they get away beit for two hours or for a much needed weeks vacation. Builders Care and Angelwood hope this new respite care facility will help families grow strong and stay strong.

One of the most enjoyable days (demolition) is set for Friday, July 28, 2006. Volunteers from the US Navy will be on hand. We hope to see you there!

Builders Care Announces Project for Next Builders Care TV Show
JACKSONVILLE, FL - June 20, 2006
The next Builders Care TV Show will chronicle the complete remodeling and rehabilitation of the Page-Bailie Residence, a home for special-needs foster and adopted children.

ICI president Don Wilford and the Builders Care staff conducted a pre-construction inspection and interview in preparation for this comprehensive project. Wilford listened to Mom, Melissa (foreground), and Aunt Diane (background) concerning the specific needs in the home and began to formulate ideas and possibilities for the project. Demolotion and filming started on July 10.

"I can't wait to get my hands on this one," Wilford stated. "We really want to positively impact the home environment for this special family."

2006 Builders Care Demo Derby was a SMASHING success!
JACKSONVILLE, FL - February 11, 2006
The fourth annual Builders Care Demolition Derby was held under cover on a rainy night in February. The new location at the Clay County Fairgrounds was an excellent venue and provided a roof over the entire event for the inclement weather. An estimated crowd of 4,000 was on hand to see a record number of 44 cars vie for supremacy!

Deemed a FUNd Raiser by the staff, the event filled all our expectations. Through the tireless efforts of over a hundred volunteers, it went off without a hitch and resulted in many new members of the Builders Care $2 Club!

“The derby has become a tradition around Builders Care,” said Ken Kuester, Chairman of the Board. “What leaders of many organizations know is that their group’s involvement in Builders Care, helping someone in need, is the best team building exercise available. The annual derby takes all the individual corporate teams and bonds them into a larger team called Builders Care. Even if the event did not raise money it would be worth while simply due to the team spirited momentum it builds.”
