KICK OFF CELEBRATION FOR HABITAT BUILD IN FREEPORT

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland and Freeport Rotary invite you to join them for a kickoff celebration for the “Green Bean” building which is now underway on West Street in Freeport. The event is taking place on Wednesday November 11th from 5 – 7 pm at the Freeport Community Center. Come and learn about the newest building effort and how you can get involved in Habitat’s efforts to build another affordable home in Freeport. The event will include an array of appetizers and beer and wine, along with a silent auction of goods and services donated by area businesses and individuals. Children are welcome with activities planned.

Keynote speaker Craig John, world class climber, will present his inspirational stories of scaling Mount Everest and several of the world’s tallest peaks.

The Green Bean house is the frame of a house that was donated to Habitat by LL Bean and then moved to the West Street site onto a piece of land donated by the Town of Freeport. In a true green fashion, the house is being recycled and will be rebuilt to green standards that will make it highly energy efficient. Habitat has recently started work on the home and welcomes the support of the community in the effort.

For more information please go to www.habitatportlandme.org or call Nicole at Habitat at 207-772-2151. A suggested donation of $10 is requested. For planning purposes you are asked to RSVP to Nicole no later than Monday 11/9/09.
