NEW ORLEANS – The New Orleans Education League of the Construction Industry (NOEL), a council of the Home Builders Association of Greater New Orleans (HBAGNO), will receive a proclamation from New Orleans City Councilman, Freddie King III, on Feb. 27.
The honor recognizes their volunteer efforts in assisting a disabled District C resident in Algiers.
The beneficiary, a local woman who recently lost a leg due to diabetes, was gifted with a new, ADA-compliant handicap ramp at her home. HBA/NOEL volunteer builders and vendors completed the work over two weekends.
After learning of the woman’s plight, NOEL, with the support of local contractors, landscapers and vendors, decided to donate time and materials to make the needed addition to her home.
Sponsors donating time and materials for NOEL include Roy Olsen, Norseman Construction; Randy Noel, Reve; Anthony Quillen, Quillen Construction Group; John Heald, One Man & A Tool Box; Shivers Nellon, Nell Builders; Frank Morse, Morse Holmes; Kellett Lumber, and other anonymous sponsors.
The honors award ceremony will be held at the New Orleans City Council Chambers on Feb. 27 at 9:30 a.m. Remarks from Councilman Freddie King III, District C, will be followed by the presentation of the proclamation to NOEL President Roy Olsen of Norseman Construction.
