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.
