Sisters Habitat hosts National Women Build
Sisters Habitat volunteers
and future Habitat homeown-
ers will work alongside a con-
struction crew of women from
our community during Habitat
for Humanity’s National
Women Build Week, May
9-13. Women from Sisters are
invited to devote at least one
day to building decent and
affordable housing for local
families.
More than 17,000 women,
including Lowe’s Heroes vol-
unteers, are expected to vol-
unteer at construction sites
across the country as part
of Habitat’s 2017 National
Women Build Week.
Sisters
H a b i t a t ’s
Construction Manager
Darleene Snider will lead the
team of women volunteers at
the Village Meadows subdi-
vision (corner of McKinney
Butte Road and Desert Rose
Loop). This is her fourth year
as a team leader and she is
excited to work with women
in the community landscaping
two homes and working on
construction on another.
“I’m always amazed at the
excitement and enthusiasm
this event brings to the work-
site. Everyone is eager to help
and we have a lot of fun, too,”
she said.
Future homeowner Sharyn
Benson will be out on the job-
site as well.
“I can’t wait to work
alongside some old friends
and make new friends as we
help build my house during
Women Build Week,” she
said.
We cotldn’t do it
withott the stpport of
otr commtnity and the
help from otr regtlar
voltnteers to help make
this event the stccess it is.
— Marie Clasen
“It takes a village to put
on a big event such as this,”
said Marie Clasen, Sisters
Habitat’s Volunteer and
Family Services Manager.
“We couldn’t do it without
the support of our community
and the help from our regular
volunteers to help make this
event the success it is.”
Lowe’s helped launch
National Women Build Week
in 2008 to empower women to
advocate for affordable hous-
ing and spotlight the home-
ownership challenges faced
by many. Each year, Lowe’s
provides the support of their
employee volunteers.
“Through our partnership
with Habitat and support of
National Women Build Week,
Lowe’s empowers women
to get involved in their com-
munities, learn construction
skills and make a meaningful
impact,” said James Frison,
Lowe’s director of community
relations. “We’re grateful to
all the women in Sisters who
will volunteer this week to
help build decent and afford-
able housing.”
Interested volunteers can
register for a 9 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. shift during build days
May 9-13. Those who vol-
unteer are asked to attend an
orientation on Wednesday,
May 3, at 5:30 p.m. at Sisters
Library. On Saturday, May 6
from 10 a.m. to noon a clinic
on “How to Safely Use Power
Tools” will be offered. To reg-
ister for these events contact

DAVIS TOWING
The column “An incendi-
ary telegram sends Americans
‘Over There’,” The Nugget,
April 5, stated that Woodrow
Wilson was the first sitting
president to leave the U.S.
That is not correct.
Wilson was the first to
travel to Europe and to leave
the U.S. for an extended
period of time, but Theodore
Roosevelt visited the Panama
Canal construction site in
1906 and William Howard
Taft visited Mexico briefly in
1909.
Happy
Easter
