June 13, 2019 From the Building Committee We had a phenomenal workday Saturday, June 8! Steven Lively was the site leader and Noe Luna, Joseph Selem, and Clint Reed led volunteer crews. We had 15 volunteers including Ana our homeowner. Thank you to all who came out to help us! Steven, Blake, and Nick got the porch under decking and smart siding sheets installed. Fred and Ernest got windows flashed and trimmed out. Noe and Lupe finished tyveking gables and trim work. Clint and Marcus got trim on and most of the back siding installed. Tommy Matthews and Seth Moore were on hand to help in every capacity. (These gentlemen have servants’ hearts and we are most grateful for their dedication!) Ana and Miguel worked on the house and the yard. SurePoint ER provided a delicious lunch for our volunteers. Thank you SurePoint ER! Rod and Candy Rutledge of Rutledge Electric came out to get started on electrical install. They have marked switch and outlets. Travis from Texas Plumbing Services got the plumbing vented, and Cashon A/C Inc. will be getting out soon to do the HVAC. Thurman Roofing crew came in Saturday afternoon and installed our roof at cost so we are dried in!!! Yay!!! Thank you to James and his crew. This Saturday Toby O’Neal of TXP Construction and Remodeling will be leading the work crew to continue the siding install. We had a great construction-experienced crew last week and most said they plan to be back this week, as well. In the following weekends and weather depending, exterior paint will start after siding and while we wait for the interior to be insulation readied. From the Fundraising Committee Jody Lee Caudle of Texas Homegrown Radio has agreed to be the MC for our singing competition! This is going to be big. You'll want to be there on October 4th. From the Erath County Habitat for Humanity Board of Directors July 2019 will mark the installation of our 2019-2020 Board.

Habitat for Humanity
Habitat for Humanity works with families and volunteers to build homes and strengthen our communities. We build together because we live together and want to put Jesus' teachings to work in the heart of Texas and Texans. May 1, 2019 From the Building Committee The weather continues to stymie the progress on the Gonzales home but we were able to finish cleaning up the paint and yard at our Sloan storage house on Saturday. We extend a big thank you to Joseph Selem for leading our group of volunteers! The extended weather forecast promises a lot more rain so a workday this Saturday looks doubtful. Please continue to follow us on Facebook for updates. From the Fundraising Committee We are working on creating an Erath County Habitat for Humanity signature fundraising event. There are some really exciting ideas. More on this as plans come together. Thank you Studio 6:14 Dance for pledging to donate 10% of your tuition revenue for the months of April AND May to Erath County Habitat! We welcome other Erath County Businesses to pledge their support as well. If you or your employer are interested in doing so, please send us an email at[email protected]. We will feature your pledge in our newsletter and on our webpage at ErathCountyHabitatforHumanity.org. From the Public Relations Committee ECHH has signed up to Adopt A Spot through Stephenville Parks And Recreation Department. Look for our sign along the Bosque River Trail! We look forward to working with SPARD and for putting action to our motto: “Together, we build better lives!” We are also preparing a Builder’s Basket for Stephenville Optimist Club’s Fundraising Auction this Friday May 3rd. We love lending a hand in support of other Civic organizations! From the Gratitude Committee This week we give thanks to a local church and memorial fund. Thank you for your contribution to helping make decent housing affordable and lives better. Thank you to First Christian Church of Stephenville for their contribution of $700. Thank you to the Birdie Hartsough Frey Memorial Fund for their contribution of $500. As always, thank you to each volunteer that gives his/her time and labor to Erath County Habitat for Humanity. Thank you also for the positive words and testimonies you share in the community about Habitat and the difference we all make when we work together. We are blessed to call Erath County home and to build homes in this generous, edifying community! Habitat for Humanity

We build together because we live together and want to put Jesus' teachings to work in the heart of Texas and Texans. From the Building Committee We will not have a workday April 20th so that we all may spend the Easter Holiday weekend with our families. Happy Easter! Weather did not participate with us yet again last weekend, so we were not able to have a Saturday workday. TXP Construction came out Friday and worked on framing. Thurman Roofing will begin our roof soon. Thank you all for all of your hard work and dedication and here’s to hoping the rain comes on Sundays instead of Saturdays for a while. From the Fundraising Committee Proceeds from the Garage Sale have continued to come in and we are now close to $3,000! Thank you to everyone who has come out to support Erath County Habitat for Humanity. Our fundraising committee is in discussions on creating a signature event. Stay tuned because we are hoping to reveal a showstopper! From the Gratitude Committee This week we are thankful for our monetary donations and donations of time and services.

Thank you to Zonata Club of Stephenville for their 2019 donation of $250. Thank you to TXP Lawn & Landscape for donation of services to mow our Walnut properties.
