28th Family - Sodus - Dedication September 11th 2011


Here is the Henderkx family after 3 months of hard work refurbishing their new home at the dedication.

To the right top is Bill Herbert the site supervisor for the project presenting the new homeowners with a hammer.

To the right lower Chris and Stephan speaking to those attending the dedication.

Their new house is a habitat home that was built a few years back that the former family walked away from.  Unfortunate it was left in poor condition and required significant cleanup and refurbishing.  It now looks like new again and is the home for the Henderkx family of 5.
