Volunteer Spotlight: David Lloyd
|
David Lloyd has the "Habitat Fever." Lloyd is a
regular Tuesday-Thursday volunteer at Knoxville Habitat for Humanity who
volunteers his time and skills on the electrical crew, a group of
approximately 10 retired gentlemen led by KHFH staff member Danny
Mitchell. Before Lloyd's retirement from Oak Ridge
National Laboratory, he volunteered to build with Habitat through his
church, Fountain City Presbyterian, a long-standing Covenant Partner.
But in 1996 after his retirement, Lloyd's friend and fellow parishioner
Bill Whitehead asked him to become more regularly involved in the
mission of Habitat as a member of the electrical crew. (Click here to continue reading.) |

Now Available for Pre-Order
|
|
 Knoxville Habitat for Humanity is pleased to announce the production
of the second in the ongoing series of unique Christmas/Holiday cards,
suitable for framing after the season.
The 2010 card and
accompanying insert continues the theme of a distinctive bird and its
nest, an artistic "nod" to the mission of KHFH and its overarching goal
to provide the security of human "nests" through its construction of
Habitat homes. Additionally, this year's insert will offer two greeting
options: "Happy Holidays from Our Home to Yours" or "Merry Christmas
from Our Home to Yours." It will have an indication that the card is
being sent in lieu of a gift. A note on the back of the card will state,
"The proceeds from the sale of this card go to benefit the mission of
Knoxville Habitat for Humanity."

| Planning Ahead: Year-End Giving
|
 Building a house is no small task. It requires commitment, resources, time, and
above all, detailed planning.
An individual's support of a non-profit requires planning,
too. The month of October is a wonderful
point to begin reviewing the various charitable gifts each of us makes during
the previous three quarters and decide if there are additional gifts we should
or could make before the end of the calendar year.
