On Friday, August 25, another local corporate partnership project kicked off a Habitat building project of their own. Volunteers from E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company gathered together to begin construction of Habitat's 109th house. Led by Plant Manager Bill Menke, DuPont has provided financial support, materials and labor to build a new home for Jerry Burns. Jerry has been volunteering his time and effort to Habitat's work since December 2004. DuPont management, employees and contractors will be working through the fall months toward completion of the home later this year. Our regular Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday crews will also be on the project. DuPont has been in our community for 80 years and has a committment to supporting the community. Habitat welcomes DuPont's participation and wonderful support.

Partnership. I think it's safe to say Habitat for Humanity is known for buidling successful partnerships to overcome the obstacles that trap good people in bad housing. It is a cornerstone in our mission. The year 2006 has seen many such partnerships make dramatic and welcome changes in the lives of deserving neighbors. The Bayer Corporation, The Segal & Davis Family Foundation and Blessed Sacrament Church have stepped forward to strengthen our community by sponsoring homes for Habitat families. Later this year, the Kanawha Valley Board of Realtors will sponsor and build a house. This demonstrates that blending the community spirit of organizations and businesses with the determination of volunteers produces some wonderful results.

Would anyone know how I could reach Wendy Tipton? If this is who I think it is, she's an old friend of mine that I lost touch with and could never track down again. If anyone knows how to reach her, please ask her to contact Shannon at leftwich07@yahoo.com ASAP!
Great work you're doing here, by the way!
THANKS!
