Progress Report - We are most grateful to the 122 different people who have contributed 3,630 hours to date. Thanks to their tremendous work, we have pretty much finished all the work on the interior of the house. We will resume work in the spring when we complete the landscaping. We will build a storage shed and will complete the landscaping when the snow melts.

THREE YEARS AGO, JIMMY Carter figured he was facing the end of his life. His melanoma had spread to his brain and his liver. He was 90 years old, and it appeared that the nation would soon be reflecting on a presidential legacy. In Carter's case, it was a legacy less focused on his oft-criticized, single term as president than on his much-lauded decades as an ex-president.

There are many ways, large and small, that people can make a difference. You do NOT need to be skilled as a carpenter. Think of Habitat as a small business that is entirely run by volunteers. We estimate that half of the hours contributed by volunteers are completed by people who never pound a single nail. If you admire Habitat's mission and want to have an impact locally, please contact us.
