“It is much more fun to do for somebody else than to worry about ourselves,” long-time volunteer and supporter Karen “Toolie” Warkentien told The Carroll News’ Allen Worrell as he visited the site of The Fuller Center for Housing Greater Carroll County’s fourth home build, a Millard Fuller Legacy Build project that attracted more than 20 volunteers to build a home for Katelyn Nester and her four children.
