Hello again to all of our volunteers. Beginning this Wednesday, March 1, you will see increased activity on Star Hogan's house (House # 105). Twelve local churches have banded together to financially sponsor and build this house in an effort of community cooperation. Members of these churches will blend together into a workforce rather than work only with their own church group. A real spirit of cooperation is driving this effort. They all share in the determination to raise this house as a safe and decent place for Star to raise her family.
As much determination as they have, they may need a little help from time to time. We might have some of our regular volunteers help out on this build. Many of these new volunteers may need some advice on the right way to get things done. I can't think of better, more knowledgeable or dedicated teachers than Tiny, Lavern and our Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday crew members.

Our next First Friday Dutch Treat Lunch will be this Friday, March 3 at Golden Corral in Cross Lanes. Shawn has a few topics to cover and Tiny will again talk about construction issues. Have you ever wondered how families are chosen to the program? Tina will talk about what Habitat looks for in a partner family. The first meeting was considered interesting and informative by those who attended. We hope to get many more volunteers for our meeting this Friday so consider this a personal invitation to each of you!
