Friends,
Yesterday, Saturday, September 19, was one of those special moments in Habitat. We dedicated the home of Ronda Simmons and her two sons, in Winchester. The house was full of chatter, laughter and hugs (and a few tears). We were all blessed an extra measure by the wonderful voice of Perry Wilson, singing "Bless This House." Perry has apparently participated in Winchester house dedications in the past and we look forward to hearing her wonderful voice again.
Ty and Patrick Carter continued their special ministry by donating a bookcase and books to Ronda's two sons. Thanks to the Carter family again!
In Berea, we are preparing for the "wall raising" this coming week, for the Montgomery family. Then very soon after, we will be doing another "wall raising" for their near-by neighbors, the Roberts family. Both homes are using a technique new to us, using SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) panels, which provide excellent insulation for the benefit of the family's future energy costs.
My thanks to the construction team, the electrical team, and our volunteers for the extra effort put into preparing for this new technique!
In partnership,
Helen Ward, President
Habitat for Humanity of Madison and Clark Counties
