Billie Townsend Women Build Frame-A-Thon

A critical component of every home is a strong and sturdy frame. We invite the community to help make the Billie Townsend Women Build Home frame even stronger by adding love to each 2x4 or stud that will frame the home! Participants are invited to decorate their board which will be nailed together to frame the walls of the home. The frame will eventually be enclosed by drywall, but the love of this incredible community will live forever within the walls of the home.
Visit bit.ly/24frame to learn more and register (registration is REQUIRED!) Or read the details below.
