Habitat Rocks!




November 17th had the sounds of the 50's coming from the fundraiser for EPHFH at The Dade City Business Center. Over 300 guests walked through the "door of caring"- a facade of a Habitat Home (created by Harold Wagner of Gator Transport & Setup Construction Division), to jump back in time to the 50's when the opportunity to have a Habitat Home wasn't possible. Marilyn Monroe, Al Nicholes (formerly of "The Platters) gave cameo performances; a show by "Second Wind"; and a roller skating demonstration by Skate World Skaters of Tampa; Silent & Live auctions- a very busy night of frivolity.

Money raised from the fundraiser will go directly to building more homes for families in need of a "hand up-not a hand out". EPHFH's 50th home is under construction and a celebration of 15 years and 50 homes will be happening in early 2008.

Habitat's Women Build Home is nearing completion and is scheduled to be dedicated on December 15th at 10:00 a.m..... just in time for Christmas! Great job, women volunteers and Natalie Sotomayor, Construction Contractor.

The continuing efforts of East Pasco Habitat for Humanity are made possible because of the volunteers and donations raised from events such and the "Rock N Roll Review" & Auction. New hope for the future continue to happen for families here in East Pasco County thanks to those who "care".
