Habitat for Humanity

Starting May 2, the Valparaiso chapter of Habitat for Humanity will begin building a home.  A unique part of the build is the first week is designated as a Women Build,

meaning 75% of the work done the week of May 2nd to May 9th, must be done by women.

There will all types of roles involved with the Women Build week so if someone is not interested in doing physical labor,

but wants to join in, there will be a role for that person.  Work will be done daily May 2 - 9 so we could have a team working during the week or on the weekend.  There will be some competition for the weekend slots so if we have a group of women interested; we'd need to reserve one of those slots right away.

If anyone is interested in forming a team or want more information, they can contact Joyce McMurtrey

We need to think about getting a group of women together to head south this summer for:
