As things wind down at the building site, we want volunteers to know about the upcoming dedication service. It is tentatively planned for the late afternoon of Saturday, Sept.19th. Before that can happen, bills need to be in -and paid- so that the amount of the mortgage can be determined and the paperwork for the closing needs to be completed with the lawyer. So, while it may look like things have stalled out, very important things are being done behind the scenes to make sure everything is done correctly in time for Isabel to close on her family's new home. We hope many, many of the volunteers will come to the dedication ceremony. Over 100 volunteers signed waivers to work on the house this year. We may not have a big bus to move (like on Extreme Home Makeovers), but our services are very moving and we give the glory to God and ask for his blessings on this home and the family. We plan to have a meal after the dedication and give out some awards to volunteers and watch the slide show of the 600+ pictures that were taken during this year's build. So, watch this site for details, and watch your mail. We hope you can all join in with the celebration.

In His Service,
Lynette
