We need your help! Spread the word!

I have copied the latest email from Steve below. If you have been helping us off and on, thank you! If you have been thinking about it, now is the time! We are doing good work in this community, but we need help and money to do it. Please email this to anyone you think might be interested in supporting us in any way. If you're involved in a church, or anywhere else that you can put something up on a bulletin board, please help us out. Thank you!

We worked on some painting, trim, and utility room rough in on Sat. morning. We need individuals and groups now to push this house to completion.

We are encouraging every one to join the Carpenters Club and make additional monetary contributions and encourage their church and employers to support our local affiliate financially. Thanks to all who have made recent Carpenter's Club donations.

We have purchased two rehab homes, completed one and will shortly complete the second. As well, we have finished another new home for occupation in less than a year. It is likely that we will need to build a new or acquire a 4-5 bedroom rehab shortly for our next project. This has put a strain on finances especially since the downturn in the economy has reduced our sources of ongoing donations. Please help if you can, and spread the word of what the Clinton County Habitat is doing toward Habitat's global goal of simple decent homes for all of mankind.
