Director's Letter
From the Desk of VVHFH Board Chair, Karen Lynn Maddy
Welcome to Summer 2008
With summer upon us we prepare for family reunions, vacations and perhaps exciting ports of call and of course we are all happy to shake off the chill of winter. You may be interested to know that VVHFH is also preparing for a “HOT” summer.
House # 10 for the Lerma Family is now underway, and we are always in need of a few extra hands to help make a family's dream come true. School will be in session before we know it and we have five children to settle into a new home in time to be ready for join their new classroom.
Again this year we have several churches and local businesses participating in an “Apostles build”. This is a building program where 12 local churches, and/or businesses, sponsor a Saturday workday on our local job site. These generous people donate their time, and congregational members or business employees join in to support the cause. They also donate meals and sometimes building materials and monetary donations - all to help us achieve our goal and provide simple, decent housing for local families in need.
See our Project Page for more information on this years Apostle Build.
Members of our Board of Directors recently attended a seminar sponsored by our parent company, Habitat for Humanity International. While we may be a small affiliate, we have discovered that we are still doing great things for our community, just like our bigger brethren. We received kudos from other state affiliates for our achievements thus far. However, we realize there is still much work to do! Toward that end, we will place ads in local media over the weeks to come, looking for additional volunteers, and community leaders and interested residents to serve on our Board of Directors. In order for our affiliate to grow and realize our mission to build simple, decent housing for those in need, we need more public support from those in our community and more networking contacts, financial guidance and general committee helpers. If you are interested in helping us grow, please give our Volunteer Services office a call Tuesday- Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at (928) 649-6788 for more information.
