A Busy Week!

Excavation has begun on our 45th home build!  If all goes as planned, and the weather works in our favor, we are scheduled for our first volunteer build day THIS Saturday!

As we've been telling you, this year's build is an Apostle Build. This means that 14 area churches have come together to offer not only monetary donations, but also volunteers, lunches, and devotionals.  The first three churches will have the chance to volunteer this Saturday! 

This week also brings a Habitat fundraiser.  This Friday, May 1st, local trio Ladyface will perform a benefit concert at Don Pancho's. Proceeds will go to the Alliance Habitat.   We are EXCITED about this and ready for a fun night!  

There are still some tickets available. They're $5 in advance, and if there are still tickets available they will be $7 at the door the night of the show.  We're looking to max the banquet room out at about 200 people, but we need YOUR help to make that happen.  Silent auction items and a 50/50 raffle will also be available.  Those wishing to have dinner can do so (at their own expense), but are suggested to get reservations.  You won't want to miss this exciting fundraising event!   Thank you to our sponsor for the event: Dustin Burgess-Nationwide Insurance & Financial Services.

We are also excited to announce the formation of a Habitat Young Professionals group in Alliance.  This is a network of young professionals ages 21-40 who live or work in Alliance.  Alliance Area Habitat Young Professionals (AAHYP) members are committed to the vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Members support and contribute to the Alliance Area Habitat for Humanity's mission of eliminating poverty housing.

AAHYP will work closely with the Alliance Area Habitat for Humanity through fundraising efforts, volunteer build days, social and networking events, and more.

AAHYP membership dues ($35 per year) and fundraising profits are used to fund the construction of Alliance area Habitat homes.  More info about the group can be found here.

It's a very busy, but very exciting, time here at the Alliance Habitat!
