Fisher Dedication
On June 27th we
celebrated the dedication of the
Jasmine Fisher house on Polte
Road in Sedro-Woolley.
The weather
held (sort of) for the brief
ceremony and we about 35 people
join us to celebrate this momentous
event in the family's life. Commissioner
Dillon remarked about what
a great job Habitat for Humanity
is doing in the county, and how
much she supports our efforts.
Jasmine's
two Support Partners, Flo
Dahlstedt and Mary Stepanski,
put together the program and honored
the Fisher family with a commemorative
candleholder made from a rock
Clayton dug out of the lot during
the ground breaking months ago.
At the completion, Jasmine, Clayton,
and Emily invited us into THEIR
home for refreshments.
Congratulations,
Jasmine, for sticking with
your vision to become a home owner.

Groundbreaking!
Plan
to join us on the 18th of
July at 3:00 PM to break ground
on the Gaby Gonzalez house in
Mount Vernon. The address is 1926
Cleveland Avenue, and is just
north of Blackburn Street.
Gaby
and her two children have
been eagerly awaiting this day
since their selection as a Skagit
HFH Partner Family almost two
years ago. Gaby said the wait
has been worthwhile, and she is
ready to start pounding nails
on her very own home.
We all look
forward to celebrating this
day with Gaby.
