New Job Site Starting Up Soon on Charleston's West Side

Last week footers were dug for House 116. This house is on First Avenue next door to the one we built last Summer and Fall and will be the home of Connie Andrews.

Block is being layed as of today and we will be waterproofing and backfilling next week when the second St. Michael's workcamp comes next week. We don't expect to be framing this house before mid-July.

New Habitat Volunteer Manager

Please welcome our newest Habitat staff member, Donna DeHart. Donna will be recruiting and coordinating volunteers so Tim can concentrate on his Office Manager duties.

Please let Donna know about anyone you know that would like to volunteer for Habitat, either by joining one of our regular crews, as a Friday or Saturday volunteer, or to help out with Family Selection, ReStore or anything else.

She can be reached at dehart@habitatwv.org or at the office (720-0141).

Work Camp Season

We'll have our first work camp of the summer here next week. Many of you remember Rose Koch and her St. Michaels group (from Chicago). They are coming next week (June 11) and then returning in two weeks (June 25) with a different bunch of kids.
