Members of Grand Avenue Church of Christ have given up a month of Saturdays to work on House #17. Adults have worked on OSB, siding, and insulation to date. The youth of the church are wielding rollers and brushes to paint trim off-site.
Dillingham Boys Paint-a-thon

What do you get when you add 23 5th- and 6th-grade boys, 9 buckets of paint, 2 dozen brushes, some shelving, and lots of pizza? A Dillingham slumber party benefitting Habitat for Humanity.
Dillingham teacher Sharla Mullens offered to host an all-boys slumber party overnight at Dillingham school with a twist: for a $25 donation, the boys could spend the night at the school, watch movies, eat pizza, and paint shelving for a house to be constructed this spring and summer in Sherman. Their donations, less the cost of pizza, will be presented to Habitat for Humanity at the time of the dedication for House #17 in late June. The boys set up the boards on the school lawn and painted everything in sight, including all the shelving for the bedrooms, linen closet and pantry for the house.

This is the second major donation to Habitat for Humanity from Dillingham students. Their gift of $1,000 was presented at the dedication of House #16 in March, 2008.
Another example of AC students doing good stuff!

Yaqub Baiani, Yusuf Baiani and Fabian Latorre recently installed and set up computers for two Grayson County Habitat families.

AT&T's "One Economy" program donated the Dell computers and gave two years of high speed internet service to Habitat families, and Ariel Ketcherside, president of AC chapter of Habitat, recruited Yaqub, Yusuf and Fabian to do the installation.
Members of Red River Unitarian Universalist Church know their plants! The church has provided funding, labor, and lots of creative design for landscaping projects for the last several years. In fact, they have landscaped three Habitat homes in the last three years.
Students from Texoma Christian School rolled out a green carpet of sod at House #16 at 218 E. Hull in Denison. The high school students contributed a Saturday morning of labor to lay three pallets of grass.
Habitat for Humanity has teamed up with Texoma RSVP to match up volunteers with opportunities. Texoma RSVP is 20 years old and serves Grayson, Cooke and Fannin counties. The program offers free membership, including on-site accident insurance, to volunteers age 55 and older.

Habitat volunteers who sign up with the program can have their volunteer hours count twice: both for Habitat and for Texoma RSVP.
