Neighborhood Social Events

Neighborhood Discussion Group

September 8 (Thursday) – The Neighborhood Discussion Group will meet at St Alban’s Church, beginning at 7:00 p.m. Our neighbors, Chris Boone and Pat Stenhouse, will present an information program about Our Towns Habitat for Humanity. Chris is the Director of Development and Pat is the Volunteer Coordinator.

Did you know that many of our neighbors either work or volunteer at Our Towns Habitat for Humanity in Cornelius? Our Towns is “our” local affiliate of Habitat for Humanity and it serves families who live or work in Mooresville, Davidson, Cornelius or Huntersville. Did you ever wonder who buys the houses that Habitat builds? Did you know that Habitat is a hand-up, not a hand-out? Chris and Pat will explain the program and answer your questions.

This is an information session and not an appeal for donations. Pat will explain the many opportunities to volunteer at Our Towns Habitat, and may encourage you to also consider volunteering, as do her husband Mike, Mike and Nancy Kota, Lovenia Summerville, Luann Christine, Doug Boone, Ed Riley, and others in our neighborhood. Pat and Chris promise an enjoyable program with snacks and iced tea for all.

DON’T MISS THE GREAT START TO OUR FALL PROGRAMS!
