MARK CLARK- NEW MEMBER

Mark Call- Membership Chair, Mark Clark- new member, Beth Sturman -sponsor,
Alan Treisbach- Club President
 
 
Please congratulate our newest member, Mark Clark, Executive Director of the Montco Senior Adult Activity Center.  While it is located in Montgomery County, the center is an independent non-profit, and not part of county provided services. The Norristown center at 536 George Street is completing a significant facilities overhaul. We greatly look forward to partnering with the center as it embarks on some very ambitious, positive changes.
To Mark's left is Beth Sturman (Mark's sponsor).  
 
Welcome to Rotary, Mark.

LAST WEEK
ANNABELLA TRACEY - HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
 
ANNABELLE TRACY - HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
 
  Last week our speaker was ANNABELLA TRACEY who talked about Habitat for Humanity, where she is the Director of Volunteers and Outreach for the Montgomery and Delaware Counties. She started with a brief overview of Hab for Humanity which is functioning in 70 countries ,working towards making affordable housing available  to as many people as possible. They have programs for rehabbing houses, building new ones, and helping people find ways to build an economic base for home ownership. 
  Her territory covers Montgomery and Delaware Counties where they built 4 new homes last year, and did rehabilitation work on several others. They assisted individuals with 0% loans, low down payments, and financed second mortgages. Next year they expect to expand operations into Norristown.
 They are always looking for volunteers and have extensive training programs for novice workers. All the detail construction work is done by professional contractors.
 For more information , check out their website-  habitatmontdelco.org
or contact Annabella at       atracy@habitatatmontdelco.org
 
Thank you, Annabella
