Hike For Habitat

It would be nice to think, a home re-built by Habitat could reclaim or even save a neighborhood.

habitat-walkThere 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.

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.

One thought on “Hike For Habitat”

  1. 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.
