Gilders are invited to join the Society of Gilders (www.societyofgilders.org ) in their annual Community Service Project in New Orleans during the week of October 24, 2010--volunteering their talents and time in the restoration of an exceptionally beautiful 155 year-old church that was a victim of hurricane Katrina. St. Alphonsus Church, which is on the National Registry of Historic Buildings, had been undergoing restoration when Katrina hit. Several million dollars were required just to repair hurricane damage, and the restoration had to be cancelled. Contact Francis Lestingi at francis@signsofgold.com for information.
