More than just co-workers
This past weekend, workers from Athens Regional Medical Center came out in support of Ms. Susie Thomas. Ms. Thomas has been working at ARC for nearly 30 years, and this past Saturday over a dozen of her fellow workers came out to work with Habitat as well as help Susie get her "sweat equity" taken care of. These volunteers sacrificed a Saturday to help Susie get as many "sweat equity" hours as possible, working on both the build site and the ReStore. Both Susie and the Habitat staff would like to thank this group for their hard work, proving that sometimes the word "co-worker" can take on a whole new meeting.

Bridge Tournament a Big Success!
Card players from all corners of Athens-Clarke County converged at the Chapelwood United Methodist Church this past Thursday to participate in the kickoff fundraiser for the Athens Habitat 2007 Women's Build Campaign. Food was generously provided by many businesses listed below, and the MC's (Women's Build Steering Committee leaders Kay Richmond and Michele Simpson) kept the party going by giving some women build info. and giving out door prozes. All in all, the event raised more than $1000, money that is going directly to the Women's Build Project, to build a hoe for a family in the Athens Area. Thanks everyone!
