Greetings!
 
Rock Cats Mascot
There is a cat... a cat, on a ladder... a cat on a ladder holding a hammer!  How cool is that cat?  No, that's not a stray, that's local celebrity Rocky, the New Britain Rock Cats mascot who came to hammer a few nails with us earlier this month.
 
We've been super-busy in September... wrapping up our Sticks for Bricks golf tournament, hosting our week long Build-a-Thon, planning for the upcoming Building on Faith event and working on other projects.
 
Keep up with the very latest! 'Friend' us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to get your weekly dose of Hartford Habitat! Enjoy!
