At
the Habitat for Humanity annual meeting earlier this year in
Champaign-Urbana, a home's worth of free windows was the grand
prize. The winner was Tonita Reifsteck from Habitat for Humanity
of Logan County.
Thursday the free Feldco windows
for the new home of Harley and Chaka Utterback were delivered.
Harley and Chaka have already begun their sweat equity to ensure
their ownership for them and their children.
The Logan County Habitat has completed two homes in that time span and
in the spring will begin work on their 17th home, the one for the Utterbacks.
Pictured left to right: Bob
Chamberlain and Patti Drake, Logan Habitat board members; Mark Miklosz

and Uday Khedkar from
Feldco; Tonita Reifsteck, winner of the window gift; and Harley Utterback, future homeowner.

Plan ahead.
Make sure you have the things you need to make the
day stress-free. If you are going to nurse in public,
make sure you have a nursing cover or receiving blanket
handy to give yourself a little privacy. If a nursing
pillow helps, bring that along too!
