Garth Lovvorn spoke at the November realtor lunch about the GREEN AND LEED homes Habitat for Humanity are currently building.

He also asked the question "You can sell houses, but can you build one?"

This morning around 8:AM realtors started to show up for an hour, a couple of hours, all day if they could spare the time to help build a home for a deserving family.

ALAR President Patsy Gooch said:

'We will start at 8:00 A.M. and work till you become tired or you can come any time of the day! If you can work one hour, two hours, the time frame does not matter, the important issue is, we are helping our community!

"We are entering the season for giving from our hearts. What a perfect way, to start off the season! Let's do our part and make some special family have a new home!"

Garth concluded, "These houses are not given for free to these selected occupants, they do have to pay for them, they will have a reduced price and the interest rate is very reasonable, but the qualification are strict and we require copies of their financial records and other statements."
