Work site status
We will post the work site status here for volunteers as to delays or cancellations due to weather or other circumstances. We will also try it indicate if lunches are to be provided or not. A sign-up list will be at the job site so you can register your e-mail and receive a notification if work is canceled.

Both houses are well underway. They are almost weather tight. Roofing is near completion, siding is in progress, windows are in. We are working Thursdays (all day) and Saturday mornings. Come and visit us!

Shauna Woodward from Albany and her two children, 10 year old daughter Jordan and 9 year old son Dominic will be the new homeowners. Only Shauna was present at the announcement. Shauna is shown with chapter President Ron Force.

Mount Washington Valley Chapter of Habitat for Humanity Participates in Women Build
		MWV Habitat for Humanity completes its first participation in Women Build! Many women volunteers build wall sections for houses Kanc #8 and Kanc #9. Women Build was originated as a way to allow women to take an active part in building home, get them out of the kitchen and on to the work site. Lowe's will contribute $5000 to every Habitat for Humanity Affiliate that has a crew made up of at least 75% women, that builds for one full day during the week preceding Mother's Day. This week was chosen because mother's especially want their children to live in standard homes. Habitat for Humanity's goal is to eradicate poverty, by offering affordable homes, built by the owners and volunteers. This is the first year that the Mount Washington Valley Affiliate has decided to participate.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY SELECTS NEXT FAMILY

The Mt. Washington Valley Habitat for Humanity has selected the Reuning family of Conway to be the recipients of the next Habitat home. Damon and Deborah Reuning and their three children, Aryanna, 17, Chance 13, and Zavier, 10, will work alongside the Habitat volunteers to build their new home on Robert Morrell Drive in Conway. The family has lived in Conway village for more than 9 years. Damon, a native of Conway, was raised and educated in the town. He is the owner of Damon’s Tree Service and Deborah has recently enrolled at Granite State College and is planning to study architecture. Construction of the home will begin as soon as weather permits. Mt Washington Valley Habitat has plans to build a second home this year and is now accepting applications for that home. The requirements are simple. You must be living in some type of sub-standard dwelling (over crowded-safety concerns-poor heat), have an income in the $25-40,000 range, and be willing to put 300 hours of “sweat equity” into building your home. Interested persons may request an application by contacting Habitat at 2 Common Ct, N. Conway 03860 or by calling 356-3832 and leaving a message. Habitat is an Equal Opportunity Lender.
