As a result of the commitment
indicated by this letter and a letter from
each of the two previous Presidents over 500 of this organization's
members donated thousands of hours, Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays
and yes, vacation days renovating buildings at the Center.
They also obtained donations from
suppliers
amounting to well over
$100,000.00
After buying this old private home,
IIN converted it into
the Linda Ray Infant Center and
eventually donated it
to Children's Home Society
Infants In Need's

this vision by the Board of Directors of
INN let to the
acquisition of a parcel of land with two apartment
buildings, one
with 6 apartments and one with 24 apartments. The
building above was completed first to serve 40 "at risk" children.
Here are some images of Union Members at work.
