FW: Memorial Day mesage

On this Memorial Day, we remember those Veterans who have died for us, those soldiers who fight for our continued safety and freedom, and for a simple decent home for all.

 

This week we celebrate our American Dream Luncheon, June 3^rd, following a time where Habitat assisted the

Veternas in New Rochelle with their annual parade

 

To that end, we are grateful for our partnership with many Veterans groups, and kickoff Habitat for Veterans (see Habitat for Veterans FB) this month, with the mission of rehabbing veterans omes, creating new housing for those returning and engaging Vets in continued Volunteerism, which we have enjoyed over the years. We also hired a Marine this week into our Restores, and hope to teach veterans returning building skills, to help with our building programs,while helping to employ them.  We announce a 50,000 Challenge Grant by the Lanza family foundation to help with our HABITAT FOR VETERANS PROGRAMS. Every dollar donated is doubled in helping Vets have homes, or those on fixed incomes retain their home as retired Vets.

 

With that in mind, we say God bless America, our freedoms and the ability to have a simple decent home. To that end, we were named number 6 builder in the country, and will not be satisfied till every one has an opportunity to have and strive for the American Dream.

 

May God bless each and every one of you.
