| From the Executive Director |
 Dear Friends of
Habitat,
Trying to tell you about all the
good things happening at HFHSJC in a few short sentences can be more challenging
than you might think. I'm searching for the right words to convey the sense of
excitement and accomplishment felt on our Women Build site. I wish Amanda, our
Volunteer Coordinator, could introduce you to the dozens of volunteers from the
Healy Group; 1st Source Bank; Best Buy; RSM McGladrey; Kruggel, Lawton &
Company; and Bethel College who accomplished so much in so
little time the first week of World Build. I wish you could have joined me last
Saturday at the warehouse as Ron, Todd, Babette, and Pancho showed more than 30 Notre
Dame students how to build walls. I wish you could have seen our dedicated
staff in action at the Knollwood Charity Golf Classic where more than $3,000 was
raised for Habitat. And I wish you could sit in on our board meetings to hear
about the exciting plans for a new ReStore that will help us fund even more
affordable houses. It truly is a privilege to be part of such a wonderful
organization working with such dedicated people. Thank you again for your
support.
