Building Homes, Building Hope

Amy Richard closed on her house on May 1, 2008 and a Dedication
Ceremony was held on May 18, 2008 at Elim Lutheran Church. Amy and
her two children have settled into their own home at 140 W Linden Street.
Drive by sometime to view the work done by our dedicated group of
volunteers.

This summer of 2008 we completed a build in partnership with Carlton
County at 2509 Kelly St in Cloquet. The closing and dedication will be in
the early Fall. We have joined together with Thrivent Builds to build our
37th house at 2801 W 2nd St in Duluth. Work on the site has begun and
a family will be selected this month.

The 2008 Habitat 500 Bike Ride was a great success! We thank the
following bike riders for their contribution to Habitat Duluth: David
Bergum, Jr, David Spoelhof, Craig Sterle, Scott Yoho, Larry Scanlon,
Seth Spawn and Phillip Birk. We also thank the many people who made
donations to support the Habitat 500 Bike Ride.

Would you like to support the efforts of Habitat for Humanity-Duluth but
you don't know how? Here is an idea that was used at Elim Lutheran
Church for the building of Amy Richard's house. The church engaged in
a 2x6 sale with the goal of raising enough money to buy all the studs
needed in the house. For a suggested contribution of $10 a person
signed a 2x6 that was used in the new home. In this way their gifts not
only purchased the lumber needed but they also know that their name will
forever be a permanent part of the home. Maybe you or your
organization would like to raise the needed money to purchase shingles,
or pay for the electrical work or the windows?

Sincerely in Christ,

The Staff and Board of Directors
