Habitat Dedicates 21st Home
The paint is dry, the landscape is in, and the certificate of approval from the city has been issued. The Shepherd family moved in recently to their beautifully completed house just 11 weeks after the first wall was raised. Amid tears and smiles, Kristine Shepherd said, "I look at this and think, 'This is our home.' I am still not of the mind set to think that it is really ours."
Men in Green
A crew from Atmos Energy built the backyard storage building for House #21.
What do Women Do? Women BUILD!
Take 20 area women, a handful of great crew chiefs, a few Habitat homeowners and applicants, some great weather, and an Olympic athlete, and what do you get? This year’s Women Build! Women across the country devoted time during the first week of May to build Habitat houses, and we were delighted to be part of the effort.
US Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin, along with her buddy Liz, mother Anna, and grandfather Vladimir, were our special guests, spending the day putting up siding at House #21 on Brents in Sherman. Lowe’s is providing a generous $5,000 grant to help fund our next house in support of the one-day Women Build. We can’t wait for next year!
Progress on House 21
Everyone on Brents Street could see the pumper truck pouring the foundation for this house!
More than 40 volunteers were on hand to help raise the first wall.
Going up!
Scouts in Action
