| 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

| 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. |
