Habitat House Party

It was a beautiful fall day for our annual Habitat House Party. John and Jean are on the Special Events Committee for Durham Habitat, so we always get deeply involved in this particular event...especially the food portion of it! Our wonderful hosts this year were Heather Graham and Christopher Gergen. They were Outstanding to work with. And we were fortunate that our standard Get It Done Well team was available! It was fun and easy work and a breeze for the hosts and brought in over $60K for a new Habitat House.

A greeting from our hosts at the start of the brief program about Habitat.
A few inspirational speakers. This woman decided she wanted friends to help her build a Habitat house for her 50th birthday. She sent out emails, put it on Facebook and made two dreams come true--for the new homeowner and her birthday dream! Great story!
Kitchen crew (actually we staged in the garage and it worked great!) catching their breath and working on cleanup.
