During the week of October 19 MCC joined the Salish/Kootenai Housing Authority in Pablo to help weatherize homes from Evaro to Polson. We mostly installed fire alarms and sink attachments, handed out shower heads, carbon monoxide alarms, special light bulbs that last five to seven years, insulated electric water heaters and covered windows with plastic. At every home we left pamphlets for energy conservation education.
The week went by fast for me. The Housing authority set us up at the Kwataqnuk hotel on Flathead Lake in Polson. We were very comfortable. We got to see a beautiful double rainbow on Tuesday from the Kwataqnuk and later in the week the Housing Authority hosted a delicious dinner for us; awesome stew and fry bread. They also generously gave our crew free admission to the local Native Musuem in Pablo which was very cool, interesting, and educational. They were very kind to us and I feet grateful to have worked for them and been given the opportunity to help some of the people who greatly contribute to their community.
