ReStore Anniversary
The Habitat ReStore held it's 2nd Anniversary Celebration July 14 and 16. Free Pepsi products and hot dogs were given away as a token of appreciation to the ReStore customers. A bake sale was held and door prizes were given away hourly. In addition, already low ReStore prices were marked down on several items in inventory. A great time was had by everyone, including the shoppers. The Habitat ReStore continues to provide important funding for our program.

Bilbrey Family Home Dedication
Gina Bilbrey (pictured with her children) recently became another new homeowner thanks to the hard work and dedication of many volunteers, including a lot of local women! Gina’s home represents the 37th PCHFH home dedicated and the first Women Build project. Women from Putnam County and surrounding counties spent countless hours helping build this home for the single mother of three. Family, friends, and the volunteers joined together for the special celebration and dedication.
Summer Youth Blitz
Teenagers from as far away as California and Rhode Island have converged into Putnam County for the HFH Summer Youth Blitz Build. Thirteen teenagers are spending 2 weeks of their summer vacation helping us build a home for Kerrie West and her children.

Each year HFH conducts three Summer Youth Blitz Builds in the U.S. and for the second time in two years, our affiliate was selected to serve as a host. First Cumberland Presbyterian Church has served as home base for the group, but most of their time has been spent on Edwards Lane working on the house. In addition to building, the group, which is led by four leaders, has had the opportunity to spend afternoons swimming in Dale Hollow Lake, boating at Pickett State Park, and sightseeing in Nashville.

This program brings kids together from all types of backgrounds and provides them an opportunity to learn to work together with others to help a family in need. States represented by the group include California, Arkansas, Alabama, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. We thank all of the groups and businesses that are supporting this build by providing lunches, dinners, and even a pool party presented by Echo Valley Pool. Construction on the home will continue this summer.

Bi-Lo and Pepsi Support PCHfH
Future Habitat homeowners Keri West and Sue Randolph, PCHFH board member Denise Vickers, Pepsi Sales Manager Shane Allison, Bi-Lo employee Julie Mackie and Bi-Lo Manager Dennis Lann worked together recently to raise funds for PCHFH. Hot Dogs and Pepsi Products were sold in front of the local Bi-Lo store and all proceeds were given to the PCHFH. Also helping that day were future homeowner Veronica Panker, volunteers Vickie Easley and her family, board members Howard Bilbrey & Ginny Liebsch and Pepsi Manager Juliette Gomez.
Anderson Groundbreaking
Celebrating the build at a recent ground breaking was homeowner-to-be Christina Anderson and her children, Dale Ensor (St. Michaels Episcopal), Ginny Liebsch (First Cumberland Presbyterian), and Mike Carmen (associate Minister, First Christian Church). Construction begins June 18th with a framing work group from First Christian Church. Other "apostles" to date include First Cumberland Presbyterian, First United Methodist, First Cumberland Presbyterian, St. Michaels Episcopal Church, and Heavenly Host Lutheran. Other churches and organizations are invited to participate in this build by providing $3700 for 1/12 of the costs and committing to one Saturday workday which will provide 1/12 of the labor needed.
