Birthday Party at the Farm was a Blast!

Thanks to everyone who came out and celebrated Athens Area Habitat's 22nd Birthday Party at the Farm on Saturday Night. The party was a major success! We had a great turnout, and each band put on an unbelievable performance. A special thanks goes out to the Farm 255 for hosting our party, Publix and Cecilia Vilaveces for donating the birthday cakes, as well as Ben Lewis, Lera Lynn, and Trances Arc for coming out and playing. Check out the pictures on our Facebook Page!

Welcome New Interns/Project Manager/Germans

Things have been a little crazy over here at Athens Area Habitat for the past couple of weeks, as we lost our Volunteer Coordinator, our Summer Interns, and our German workers. However, things are back to normal now that we have refilled all of these positions. Our new interns started on Tuesday, so be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook to get caught up with everything we are doing over here. We would also like to welcome our new Project Manager, Wyatt Smith, who started here on Monday. Wyatt will be handling volunteer coordination, as well as any information regarding our weekly builds. You can contact Wyatt for any questions at Wyatt@athenshabitat.com. Finally, our 3 new German workers arrived late Monday night, stepping foot in the United States for their first time. The Germans will be helping out at the build sites, as well as the ReStore, so be sure to welcome them to the States if you happen to see them in the store. So as you can see, things were a little hectic before everyone got here so I apologize for any inconsistencies with blogging, twitter, craigslist, and facebook. Things are finally back to normal now.

Happy Monday, Get Ready for Saturday!

I know it is a little early in the week to already be thinking about Saturday, but this week we can make an exception. Saturday night is going to be a big night for Athens Area Habitat as we celebrate 22 years of service in the Athens community. There is no better way to celebrate than with live music and free birthday cake, so be sure to come out to the Farm 225 on Saturday night and join the fun. The show is free, but donations will be accepted to help Athens Area Habitat further our mission of eliminating substandard housing, and keep us in the community for another 22 years and beyond!

Moving In? Need Furniture? Don't Have Much Spending Money?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, and are very stressed with your move, have no fear. Take a deep breath and then come on down to the ReStore, where we have anything you could possibly need for your home. Coffee tables, chairs, couches, screen doors, tools, toys, books, TV's, desks, and much much more all at your finger tips for an unbelievably low price. With a major influx of donated furniture at the end of July, prices are as low as they will ever be. So come on by the ReStore and find whatever it is you may be in the market for, I bet you they will have it and at a much cheaper price than anywhere else. The ReStore is located on 532 Barber St. just passed the train tracks. Look for the Blue Barn Door!
