Keeping in Touch

Friends,

 

There are a couple of fundraisers for Habitat coming up soon, so wanted to let you know about them.

 

1. The Rotary Club is holding a Chili Cook-off at the Richmond Center (new Richmond Shopping Center near I 75) this coming Saturday, October 2, from noon to 6:00.  There will be chili cookin' and tastin', music and all proceeds benefit Habitat.
2. Baldwin Farms, 3 1/2 miles out Tates Creek road from Main Street.  Huge pumpkin patch, hay maze, local honey, sorghum and jams and lots, lots more.  Baldwin Farms is supporting Habitat with a donation "bird house" near the giant pumpkin.  Open Daily 9/24 to 10/31.  www.baldwinfarmsky.com   Bring your kids or grandkids for a fun fall outing, and support Habitat as well.

And the last bit of news  - we have a new 800 number 1-877-522-9208.

 

In Partnership,

Helen Ward, President

Keeping in Touch – September, 2010

I have so many exciting things to share about Habitat that I hardly know where to start.

We have a new Director of Development on board.  Her name is Lara Bissett and I am very excited about what she brings to us.  She has been on the job just a little over one week and has already met with folks from Lexington's Habitat, attended a Kentucky Housing Conference in Louisville, met with Leadership Madison County, and that is just the things I remember right now.

We have a home well under construction in Richmond on Linden Street.  We have just begun work on a second home in Berea.  Obviously if you want to swing a hammer, just give Wendy in the office (625-9208) a call and she will let you know how you can help.

We are developing partnerships with Madison County Home Energy Improvement on their fall "Repair Affair."  We have agreed to partner with Hope's Wings to help build a storage facility for them. 

Please join me in celebrating this new vitality.

In Partnership,

Helen Ward, President, Habitat for Humanity of Madison and Clark Counties
