Habitat Friends,
I'll try to keep this short but lots has been happening with our Habitat affiliate since July.
The house in Winchester is coming along well, with the help of two teams who visited from out of town and a lot of hard-working local volunteers. Ronda Simmons and her two sons should be moving in before the end of September.
And then, to keep things moving, we will soon be laying the foundations for the next two homes. Both will be in Hope Estates, just outside Berea, and we plan to be working hard, starting after Labor Day and on through the fall. The two houses are almost next door neighbors, so we can use plenty of hands to get the work done. Both homes will be using some new energy-efficient, sustainable building techniques which promise long-term benefits to our homeowners. Our goal is to finish both by the end of November and be sure that the Montgomery and Roberts families have some wonderful holidays!
I also want to welcome our new personnel at the ReStore. Our new manager is Ed Forester, and the chief cashier is Michael King. Come visit soon -- there are new things in the store every week. Stop and look at the beautiful plants we have for sale to brighten up your fall gardens.
In partnership,
Helen Ward, President
Habitat for Humanity of Madison and Clark Counties
