[AUG. 9, 2005] On a slightly warm but perfectly beautiful
evening in Lincoln, the Logan County chapter of Habitat for Humanity
broke ground one more time. The ceremony marked the start of the
ninth site that the ecumenical faith-based group has either built or
renovated to make a decent, affordable home.
The new home will be built from the ground up on a lot located at
1305 Lincoln Ave., the corner of Lincoln Avenue and Hamilton Street.
The Jim and Rita Everson family will be its recipients.

Lincoln Mayor Beth Davis and representatives of the Lincoln/Logan
County Chamber of Commerce joined the family and Habitat board
members in the groundbreaking ceremony on Monday evening.
The group exercises a physical and spiritual partnership with
families in helping them acquire and build a home of their own.
The Eversons will be consulted as the home is built and will be a
part of the construction crew. Volunteers, past Habitat families and
those wishing to be considered for a future home will assist them in
the work.
When that ceremony was concluded the group moved over the new
Habitat warehouse at 700 N. Kickapoo St. in Lincoln to bless that
new property and partake in refreshments.
A new family has already been selected for the next Habitat home.
It will go to Dawn Ferguson and family.
