Habitat for Humanity: Many thanks to a number of parishioners, some new, some long-time, for your growing interest in current Habitat activity. As most of you know, construction of a new Habitat house is underway at 106 Main Street in College Corner. The Miami University Habitat Chapter is paying $50,000 for the materials for this house; their student members will be the construction crew during the remainder of this semester. While construction is underway an important non-construction task is providing food for the volunteers each Saturday. Habitat also needs non-construction volunteers for the following tasks: family selection and support; administrative tasks; website maintenance; record-keeping; photography. Please contact Jim Lipnickey (lipnicje@muohio.edu) or Mary Melvin (melvinmp@muohio.edu) for information and to volunteer your talents.
“Holy T Build Day” for Habitat May 16: In the tradition of our local Habitat for Humanity, an organization or group of volunteers can select a “Build Day” on which they work together with a partner family to help build their house. In this way we can share fun and make a tangible contribution to the ongoing construction project. At present, the house of Habitat partners Betty Fisher and family is under construction in College Corner IN. (This is independent of plans for a group of Habitat homes off Hester Road in Oxford.) Through April 25, Miami students will work at the site. After classes end, other volunteer groups will be needed and welcomed.
It’s been suggested that as an Outreach project, Holy T “adopt” one particular Saturday as a “Holy T Build Day” at the Fisher home. Experienced Site Supervisors determine what needs to be done and provide guidance where needed; it’s not necessary for volunteers to be experienced at construction. A date has been selected: Saturday, May 16. Already several volunteers are planning to work on that day, starting at 9 AM. Depending on construction needs, our part of the project might be completed by noon.
