This is an organization that does good work. It would be nice to think, a home re-built by Habitat could reclaim or even save a neighborhood.
The turnout was a a lot less than they wanted, though the raw weather might have had something to do with it. Still, the day raised a few thousand dollars, with teams from local churches and a few local colleges.
I suspect, at some time in the not too distant future, Helaine will be lifting a hammer to get involved.

I think one of the true highlights of the event was Geoff's appearance. Geoff's humor and wit were a ray of sunshine breaking through a cold cloudy day.
Plus, you really have to admire a weather man who is willing to appear at an outdoor event when the weather is "iffy". I didn't realize just how many people hold Geoff personally responsible for the weather. If it were me - I would probably stick to indoor events only
Thank you for coming - we really appreciated the fact that you and your wife took the time to come out and support us the way that you did.

There wasn't much time to get far from home today. I was invited to help out at a hike for Habitat for Humanity at Sleeping Giant State Park.
