Construction began on the duplex on June 2nd and the volunteer effort was completed on June 18th (One day ahead of schedule)! A quote from Libby Kathman, an affiliate manager: "As long as I've been with Habitat, I don't think we've done anything this fast." (Grand Forks Herald 6/16/08 issue)
Congratulations to all on this success!
Congratulations to United Lutheran Church members for their highly successful participation in building a
"Thrivent Builds" Habitat for Humanity home. We were assigned a goal of $1200 but actually raised and
contributed more than $4000 through a series of events that included Miracle May envelopes, the M&M
quarters project, the 2X4 Sale, and Sink Sunday.
United members also participated as construction workers. More than 30 individuals signed up to provide labor at the building site. In addition, members of three circles volunteered to bring in noon meals and snacks (morning and afternoon) for United's builders.
Special thanks go to Harold Vold for organizing United's share of the fundraising, Marv Moen (and Physical Property Ministry) for coordinating labor, and Crystal Engel for organizational management and record-keeping. Thank you to Ginny Bollman for the poster board displays, Gary Larson for assisting with displays, and Richard McGurran and Crystal Engel for loaning sinks. Thank you to all of you who donated offerings, labor, food, or other support for this project -- thank you from Outreach and Wellness!
