Osburn Family Home Dedication
Habitat for Humanity of Geauga County dedicated their most recent home on
Saturday February 16th. The home in Middlefield Ohio now belongs to the
Osburn family, Clayton, his wife Jessie and their daughter Olivia. Shown

The Osburns contributed over 500 hours of sweat equity and are now
responsible for a mortgage on their dream home! Habitat Geauga Board
President Bill O'Donnell said “This is the 20th year for Habitat in Geauga
county during which time we have build over 60 homes for deserving families
like the Osburns. As we go into our 21st year we look to greater Geauga
County for volunteers, contributions and affordable land to continue our
ministry.”
Hart Family Home Dedication
On Saturday, December 8, 2007 we celebrated the dedication of Hart Family's new home.
Karen Hart is a single mom with one 14-year old son, Cody. Cody has been
attending West Geauga High School. Karen works as a title clerk and earns
enough to qualify for Habitat home ownership. Karen is “very focused and
determined to make this work,” and she heard about Habitat through another
Habitat family in Geauga County. Their new home is at 14969 Lake Ave in
Middlefield.
Habitat Board President Charles Moriarty commented that “The Harts are an
outstanding example of a Habitat family. They worked hard during the
construction, stayed dedicated to the challenge and now have bought a
wonderful home. We wish them well!”

What Do You Get the Person Who Has Everything?
We've noticed a trend. When faced with the “what to give the person who has everything” dilemma, many folks are choosing to give a donation to honor their loved one. Way better than a tie, don't you think? When it truly is the thought that counts, why not be thoughtful and help someone in need? |
