On Thursay, September 15th, Mike Gburski was our guest speaker. He originally hales from Connecticut and finds himself as the Executive Director of the Southwest Utah Chapter of the Habitat for Humanity. HFH focuses on helping low income families get into affordable housing by acquiring property and building homes with donated materials and labor from the community, contractors, and building suppliers. They have been averaging about a home a year but want to increase that to around three to four houses per year. Mike did a very good job informing us of his organization and there were many good questions from the crowd.
In other news, Lynn Spafford, informed the club of his disatrous week. As many of you know, his business was hit by lightning Sunday evening which ruptured a gas line and burned his store. As is typical of Lynn, his attitude is very positive and he is on his way to rebuild and get his store back to better than ever. Saturday the 17th, our Rotary Club will be spearheading a project in the community to help Lynn clean up from 8 am to around noon. Fab Freddy's will be there with a pressure washer and Alsco will have a truck there with coveralls, gloves and rags. If you want to help leave your younger children at home, wear some sturdy shoes and come join the effort.
