Habitat for Humanity needs your help!!!
Habitat For Humanity is having a fundraiser this coming week (beginning Saturday 3/31/12)
and they are having a hard time finding volunteers. They typically target high school stu-
dents/youth to help out only because it is an easy fundraiser for them to help with, but ac-
companied by an adult. Youth is not necessary .. adult volunteers are also welcome. It is a
stick house fundraiser held at the Salmon Run Mall. We have 3 hour shifts each day for a
week, 2 to 3 people per shift needed. We sell popsicle sticks for $1 and they are hot glued to
a 5' house frame and the goal is to completely cover the house frame and raise money for
Habitat to build a "real" home here in our community. If you are interested in helping out,
please contact Pam Rajner 486-7321.
