We're going to New Orleans!

So everything was hush hush until last night, when our TL surprised us with our first project of the year. We went out for pizza at a nearby restaurant. Underneath the pie was a card with an audio message: Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that your first project is going to be in New Orleans!

We were excited to find out our first round would be in the Gulf Coast. We'll be working on the St. Bernard Project, doing construction, for about 1-2 months. From what I hear, we'll be nearby the French Quarter and working with a woman who was named "Hero of the Year" on CNN this past year. We'll be stationed at Camp Hope.

Badger 6 is beyond excited, as we're one of 9 teams heading down there first round. Black and Decker University training will be helpful beginning in two weeks. March 5th! We're off!
