Subject: Let’s give a warm welcome to visiting Mennonite group!

A group of Mennonites from Willow Street, Pennsylvania is traveling to Siler City on Saturday, Sept. 6 to help build a house in the Westmont subdivision during “Building on Faith Week,” a national program of Habitat for Humanity International. The group, made up of experienced builders, electricians, and plumbers, plans to frame a house, install roofing and siding, hang wall board, and nearly complete an entire house for a local low-income family. Many of the volunteers are using vacation time from their jobs to participate in the project.
