HFH will participate in the Sugar Maple Festival, held annually in downtown Bellbrook. This year’s dates are Saturday and Sunday, April 17th and 18th. We will have our “usual spot” in Bellbrock Park, next to the little bridge over the stream. We can be identified by our banners. We will have information about the Greene County affiliate, and invite you to stop by, say hello and learn more about Habitat and our current build, The Mustard Seed Build, in Xenia.

Habitat for Humanity of Greene County will be GUEST GRILLERS at BD’s Mongolian Grille on Sunday, November 15th (Sunday) from 5-7 p.m. This is a great entertaining fund raising event for our local Affiliate. Tickets must be purchased ahead of time – $20.00 ($5. goes to Habitat) and with that ticket you will receive soup, salad, your stir-fry bowl and beverage. As our Guest Grillers entertain you, we will also have silent auction items, raffle items and the opportunity to sign a 2×4 stud for the next house we build. Please join us at BD’s -call Karen at 427-1509 to reserve your tickets

If you would like to donate an item for either the raffle or silent auction, please call Karen.

Hope to see you there as we have a grillin’ good time for Habitat of Greene County.

Please read about our upcoming activites.

On March 29, 2009 – we held the Thrivent sponsored Habitat house groundbreaking – very cold, very windy and very rainy.  With  encouraging words from RIck Perales, Greene County Commissioner and Habitat Advisory Board and Rev Tom Bernlohr of Peace Lutheran Church, Beavercreek and about 30 supporters in attendance, we had a very meaningful program and introduced our partner family – The Hulse’s. (photos supplied by Rev. Tom Bernlohr )

 

You’ll soon hear the buzzing of saws and pounding of hammers on 506 E Main Street, Xenia, but first you’re invited to hear words of thanksgiving and celebration at a groundbreaking ceremony to jump start the newest Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity home in our community.

Join the HulseFamily, your friends and neighbors as we offer thanks to God for what has already been done and gear up for the buzz of activity we will see in the coming months.

The groundbreaking ceremony of this Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity home will be held at 3:00 pm on March 29 at 506 E. Main Street, Xenia OH. For information, contact Karen Coffman at 427-1509 or visit www.thriventbuilds.com.

With the New Year brings changes to our affiliate. Roberta Shiverdecker is now our President. Bryan Rocker our previous President moved to be closer to his job. With the New Year also bring along the creation of the Board of Advisors. The Board of Advisors supports our affiliate in many ways. Rick Perelas, John Faulkner, Audrey Jennings and Jarrod Martin have all transitioned to the Board of Advisors. We wish to thank them for their outstanding support

Friday November 14, 2008 our next Habitat for Humanity of Greene County was put in place by Unibuilt Industries. We would like to thank them for setting the house in an expedient and professional manor. We would also like to thank the local Block layers Union and apprenticeship program for donating their time and helping us build the foundation.

You can see the video of the house being set here or the article in the Xenia Gazette.
