Today we had our third "First Friday Dutch Treat Volunteer Lunch" at Shoney's in Dunbar. About a dozen regular crew members showed up along with Tiny, Tina Rhodes and Tim Bollinger. Tina led us through the topic of mortgage finance. I think everyone got a clear understanding of how it is structured and how it affects both the homeowner and Habitat. A lot of good, solid information was laid out. Several well-reasoned questions were asked and answered.
As promised, Tee shirts were distributed after the meeting. (Yes Rusty, I remembered.) If you are interested in Habitat business cards with your name, let me know. I'd also like to get accurate, up to date e-mail addresses for everyone. If yours has changed, again let me know.
It was a great lunch meeting. Mike McCready had some very important and late breaking news. Tina had some hard statistics on money. Tiny had a new challenge for the crews.
I had the fish.
Remember...the dedication for Amber Knuckles and Milton Haskins (house 103) is this Sunday, April 9. The dedication for Star Hogan (104) is Saturday, April 15. You're invited!
Can't wait to hear about the next meeting? It's Friday, May5 at Shoney's in Dunbar. In order to accomodate Shoney's regular noon lunch rush, what do you think about having our meeting at 1:00 instead of 12:00? Shoney's has been great to give us this space but at noon the place was jammed full. It would really help them out if we could meet an hour later. Let me know what you think. See ya there!
