Despite
the cold, windy day Sunday, Habitat for Humanity of Logan County
had a happy, warm experience in Elkhart at the groundbreaking of HFH
home No. 14, for Kurt and April Young and their family. The ground
is open and the foundation is being poured. Over 50 people were
there to turn over a spade full of dirt and dedicate the site for
the family. Several highlights of the day and participants in the
program: donators of the property, Rick and Kathy Kaesebier; Pastor
Bob Twist of Elkhart Christian Church, who is making this an
ecumenical community project for Elkhart; and Kurt and April Young,
future homeowners, who ended their remarks to the crowd by
presenting a $500 check to Tonita Reifsteck, president of Habitat
for Humanity of Logan County. This represents one of the
requirements of each homeowner before they can receive the keys to
their home. A photo array is in today's (Tuesday)
Community section.

us tell everyone about it. Plus you can win cash. Every submission,

happy to donate your winnings to the organization of your choice.
