LIHome411.com in the news....

Earlier this week, the Long Island Business News (LIBN) picked us up on their blog for our efforts in New Orleans.

Here is the link: http://libizblog.wordpress.com/2007/08/20/builder-has-new-orleans-in-its-heart/

Here is the article:

Long Island contractor provider LIHome411.com wants people to remember that although the damage Hurricane Katrina wrought on New Orleans took place two years ago, there is still much work to be done to restore the Big Easy.

To do that, the company is trying to raise $1 million which it will donate to The Phoenix of New Orleans, a not-for-profit neighborhood recovery association.

Also, Bobby Roddini and the other partners in the company will visit New Orleans the last week of August to help rebuild damaged or destroyed homes.

The company is also asking Long Island businesses to support the rebuilding effort by donating.

From the company’s statement:

LIHome411.com’s goal for this partnership is to raise $1,000,000 for PNOLA and New Orleans. This equates to just over $1.00 from each of the 921,000 households that the U.S. Census counts on Long Island. Cash donations can be made via check made out to PNOLA and sent in care of LIHome411.com at 43 Libby Avenue, Hicksville, NY 11801. Donations via credit card can be made online at www.lihome411.com (please click through our link to PNOLA’s site). Donations of building materials and of new and used tools are welcome; please email pnola@lihome411.com or call 516-558-0760 to coordinate these donations. A list of other items accepted for donation will be displayed at www.lihome411.com. All donations on behalf of PNOLA are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
