Sign up now to volunteer for a Habitat build.  If you have not done a Habitat build this it is a lot of fun and gratifying.  Many people think you need to be a handy person to work at a Habitat build.  NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY.  But you may learn some new skills.  You will not be asked to do anything you are not comfortable doing.  We have Lions and friends of Lions volunteering but can use more.  This is also an opportunity to introduce your children or grandkids to volunteering.  They just need to be at least 16 years old.  Sign up you will be glad you did.
