Final Habitat

I took my 11 year old son to the Habitat House dedication ceremony on Saturday. He didn't say much but I could tell he was soaking it all in. It was a pride filled event that ended with both families cutting a big red ribbon across their front doors and taking that first step into official home ownership. The new duplex sparkled in the June sun and the sense of accomplishment ran high. The Nguyen family had a spread of Asian food for the welcoming. Habitat's ED, Lori Vacavlik, has overseen the construction of over 200 homes in her tenure. What a great accomplishment...
