On Thursday October 21st Sommer Bowler, President of the Board of Trustees, Michelle Hill and some friends of Habitat and members from the Family Selection Committee knocked on the Juett family’s door to tell them that they had been selected as the next Habitat family. Jonathan turned “green” but luckily he didn’t faint! They were all smiles as they were packed in a Suburban donated by Newby Buick to take the family out to see their Habitat home in LaVerkin. This will be Habitat’s 16th home in Washington County. It is a purchased foreclosed home that will be rehabilitated for the family. The Juett family was then given a tour of the house. They were so thrilled with the house in its existing condition, but updates are necessary.
The ground breaking ceremony was held Friday October 29th. Guests were invited to wear their jeans and start working on the home immediately after the ceremony. Several volunteers from the Army, Coldwell Banker, WCBR, Salisbury Homes and the community showed up to help begin the renovations. Jon and Amber are so enthusiastic about doing their part that they immediately starting working on their sweat equity hours. Already the home is starting to look like “home sweet home”.
