Enjoying mocha at third street bagel after meeting with the Marquette Habitat folks. Signed a contract to rate their next home for Energy Star-7 more to follow within the next year. Looking forward to working with this group. Back on the home front, our local Habitat affiliate (CCHFH) is ramping up for our 1 new home build and my first house as construction coordinater/site superviser. The home will be built in Laurium next to a previous build. So if you want to swing a hammer this summer AND have fun, VOLUNTEER! Call CCHFH and leave a message for Emily.

Attended Habitat for Humanities Green Homes Summit last week. Many great sessions that have really inspired me. Learned that Habitat does more than build new energy efficient homes(Energy Star certified). They buy existing homes and rehabilitate them to energy star and LEED standards. Other programs include weatherizations, critical repairs, and brush with kindness. Most of these programs receive funding support from corporate sponsors, grants, and donations. And keep in mind that most of the work is done by VOLUNTEERS. Thanks to Emily and CCHFH for this opportunity and also thanks to Carl for sharing this great experience.
NOW, how can we bring these programs to our local affiliate AND improve the existing program? Any ideas? (sponsors, fundraising, grants, matching $, partners)
