KBDC and Habitat for Humanity-Women Build Day, May 7, 2011

Last Saturday, May 7,  I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed a hammer and some friends and participated in the Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build Day.  This was the kick off event of Habitat for Humanity’s National Women Build Week. It was a great experience, as well as a lot of fun, and a wonderful opportunity for women, mother's and daughters to spend the day before Mother's Day working together  toward revitalizing a whole neighborhood. 

Along with pounding nails, I also presented McKinley Albert, Development Officer-Private Grants, Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity, with over $400 that had been collected from the recent series of mini-design seminars held at the KBDC showroom, 13 Sedgwick Road in West Hartford.  Each Saturday morning from 9:00 to 9:45 I had touched on a different remodeling topic from cost savings strategies, to materials overview, to cabinets and finally trends.  A $10 donation per person/per session had been requested which went directly to the Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity.  For more information on the projects that Hartford's Habitat for Humanity is currently working on, please visit http://hartfordhabitat.org/.
