2010 Habitat House
| PROUD SPONSOR OF HABITAT FOR HUMANITY |
Brown County Habitat for Humanity is pleased to announce the receipt
of a Lowe’s grant of $20,000 for this year’s home build. Thanks to the
effort of construction manager Bruce Clegg, and further perseverance
by construction committee member Bill Walters, our local Habitat for
Humanity affiliate is a beneficiary of a renewed five year $20 million
commitment to Habitat International.
of a Lowe’s grant of $20,000 for this year’s home build. Thanks to the
effort of construction manager Bruce Clegg, and further perseverance
by construction committee member Bill Walters, our local Habitat for
Humanity affiliate is a beneficiary of a renewed five year $20 million
commitment to Habitat International.
Bruce became aware of the opportunity through his dealings with the Columbus, IN Lowe's store sales specialist,
Jason Kelley. Habitat will be building wall panels for this year’s home at a big event at the Lowe's store on Saturday,
July 24th. Bill Walters said, “The Lowe's folks, Jason, along with district manager Tim Breshahan, have been so
supportive and helpful to us. We cannot thank them enough for their kindness and help. It is a great partnership!”
A national partner since 2003, Lowe’s has supported Habitat through grant programs, project funding, how-to clinics
and underwriting Habitat’s Women build program.
Remember that Habitat for Humanity makes a difference by starting in our own county, but its concepts are global. For
each house built in Brown County, our tithe to Habitat International builds a house in the global community in over 100
other countries.

| 2010 Partner Family |
| 2010 Partner Family Eric and Shellie Hobson and children, Tristin, Jacob, Jarrod, Chad, Dakota, Heather and Dylan |
Brown County Habitat for Humanity wishes to announce our new partner family for the
2010 build. Eric and Shellie Hobson and children, Tristin, Jacob, Jarrod, Chad,
Dakota, Heather and Dylan will be the recipients of the third home in the Pleasant Hills
subdivision on Brocks Lane. Eric is a Brown County High School graduate and being
artistically and mechanically inclined is employed at Al’s Garage/Paint & Body. Shellie,
originally from Plainfield, manages two Old McDurbin Gold & Gift stores in Nashville.
Probably one of her more important managerial duties is holding the blended family of
seven children together. All of the kids, including Heather, have a keen interest in
football and basketball, but Tristin has thought about being a doctor; Jarrod has an
interest in art and architecture. So when the time comes, the Allen Hazelbaker
Scholarship Fund may provide much needed dollars for these Brown County Habitat
kids to attend college.
Eric and Shellie are eager to realize the long awaited dream of home ownership. They
greatly appreciate the opportunity to work with Habitat on the building of their new
home. Shellie stated, “We thank Habitat for choosing our family and recognizing our
needs. As much as we appreciate Habitat’s services, our hearts go out to the other
families that were also considered. We hope that they too will have the same
opportunities as us.”
Brown County Habitat for Humanity welcomes the Hobson Family as our next Partner
Family and wish them all the best as our construction begins this summer.
