New Hard Hats and High
Heels Committee: We are just beginning the
process of planning a signature fundraising event for Blue Spruce
Habitat – the Hard Hats and High Heels event to take place
this summer. We are looking for people who enjoy event planning,
marketing and public relations, have good contacts in the community
or want to help in any way. Please contact Pandora Reagan, Development
Director if you would like to be involved with this wonderful event
and great group of people. 303-674-1127 Ext. 3 or preagan@bluesprucehabitat.org
Family Services Committee -
This committee meets every first Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm. The
Family Services Committee has the task of selecting the neediest families
based on certain criteria and once selected, the future homeowner is
partnered with a family support person (someone from the committee
that is willing to be a support partner). This one-on-one relationship
is the oldest, most effective and most popular form of family support
utilized by Habitat for Humanity affiliates.
Partner families or homeowners who have this type
of relationship with a committee member seem better able to communicate
with the affiliate and have a better understanding of the building
process. That partner acts as a liaison between the homeowner and Blue
Spruce Habitat during the building process and continues for a year
after.
After giving our current family some wonderful news
recently, her support partner turned to me with tears in her eyes and
said "This is what it's all about". Not only does mentoring
a family change their lives but the support person also receives many
blessings in the process.
There are also pot luck dinners or informational
gatherings periodically to introduce current homeowners, meet with
the staff and to socialize with each other. This is a wonderful
committee to be involved with. Come join us! Contact
Susan to find out more.
Development Committee -
The development committee's purpose is to increase Habitat' presence
in the community, find potential partners and donors, step up marketing
and outreach efforts, reach out to the faith and business community,
help with special events and more. You can get involved as you see
fit and where your talents lie. The committee meets once a month. Contact
Pandora to find out more.
