The recent annual Ham Supper was popular once again raising about $2,000 for the Affiliate. Volunteers served up a delicious meal including a collection of very fine home made pies. Extra pies were auctioned off at the end of the second sitting raising nearly $225.
Rededication of the second Habitat home built by the Affiliate took place September 20, 2008. The original homeowner sold the home back to the Affiliate after raising her children there, upgrading her education, and landing a well paying and satisfying job where she received a promotion that took her back to her hometown in northern Ontario. The new Habitat family moved into the home after some minor renovations in June. Susan Walker (L) from RBC Dominion Securities, Belleville presented a cheque in support of Prince Edward-Hastings Habitat for Humanity to Affiliate Executive Director, Melanie Flynn on September 19.
