Kellan Lutz and the St. Bernard Project

When Kellan Lutz aka Emmett Cullen, first join Twitter, my twitter page blew up with my friends screaming at me... "He's in your back yard!!"

I was like WHO? and they were all like KELLAN LUTZ!!! I was like okay...

So I journeyed over to Twitter to stalk out Lutz and lo and behold, he did join Twitter!!!

But what impressed me the most was that his first tweet was about a service project he was working on, called the St. Bernard Project!!
He had been in town working on a movie and went and helped the St. Bernard Project build some homes in the still slowing rebuilding city of Chalmette, LA.

When Hurricane Katrnia hit in 2005, this community was shattered because of a water outlet called the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, or MR GO. As Katrina's storm surge was approaching, the water came in through the MRGO and flooded the entire area. Much like New Orleans, these homes in the Chalmette area had water to their roof tops. And for me personally, I knew a few people who I worked with and were friends with, that lost EVERYTHING.

So, as this area slowly rebuilds, the St. Bernard Project, along with Habait for Humanity are rebuilding affordable homes for people to return to their roots and other family members that have return.

So yesterday, as I am researching for news, I spy this little post on TwilightersAnonymous.com about Lutz and the St. Bernard Project and then, while eating dinner out, there is a commerical on the TV about the St. Bernard Project!!! I'm telling ya it's fate that I can do this!!! LOL
