"My memories from my beginning are mixing with a parallel experience from those relatively new to the team. Just mixing old and new; coming together and clicking. It was a great energy today, wow. Today's experience must have been the concept of depth".

-Brian Kozaczek, Americorps National Construction Crew Leader

Katiana's Fun Fact Of the Week

"Concrete is stronger when carrots (and beets) are added to it! Professor Mohamed Saafi found that adding 'nanoplaelets' extracted from vegetables made concrete significantly stronger, to the point that 40 kg (88 lb) less Portland cement per cubic meter of concrete was required in order to achieve the same strength as would otherwise have been possible".-Quite Interesting, Twitter.com/qikipedia
