Meetings
Habitat for Humanity

A meeting of Carroll County Habitat for Humanity was held Sept. 5.

Election of officers was held with the following slate being approved: Randy Wherley, president and community relations; Don Reef, vice president; Janet Hildreth, chaplain and church relations; Jim Justice, family selection; Dan Suto, family support; Curt Hillenberg, construction; and Terry Callender, site selection and finance.

The group discussed building next year's house. The project might be led by the Methodists. Delphi United Methodist Church pastor, Pastor Todd Ladd, will hold a meeting Sept. 12 with other Methodists, regarding this possibility.

It was reported that the current house is progressing nicely. Wherley presented a list of tasks that need to be completed. The house blessing is set for Oct. 8 at 2 p.m.

Callender researched the recent Habitat auction held in LaGrange County and discovered that $71,000 was made this year. This included many pieces of furniture and 94 quilts (one of which sold for $1,000). Also, $3,400 was donated from the churches in the area at $1 per member.

The next regular meeting is Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. at Sharon Baptist Church.
