    Public is invited to groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate new beginnings for Verde Valley Habitat’s newest Partner Home

    logo verdevalleyhabitatCottonwood AZ (November 30, 2012) – You’ll soon hear the buzzing of saws and pounding of hammers, but first you’re invited to hear words of thanksgiving and celebration for new beginnings at a groundbreaking ceremony, as construction begins for the Bonner family’s Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity® partner home located at 862 E. Cherry Hills Way, Cottonwood-Verde Village. Together, Habitat will help the Bonner family realize their dream to become first-time ever homeowners. The event starts a t11 a.m., Thursday, December 6 at 862 E Cherry Hills Way in Verde Village Unit 7.

    Joining local Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity (VVHFH) representatives, Mayor Diane Joens will attend the groundbreaking, along with the Bonner family who is buying the home.

    20121130 habitat“Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity is about building something positive for the community and bringing families closer together, one local habitat at a time. I believe wholeheartedly that Habitat is the Verde Valley’s best practical answer for affordable housing,” Gayle Durkin, Verde Valley Habitat for Humanity Executive Director commented. “Thanks to the generous support from Wells Fargo Bank, the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco, our local businesses, community and faith group volunteers, “we’re off and running,” she said.”We’ve got incredible momentum.”

    The Bonner family is more than eager to finish construction of their new 1,160 sq. ft. Energy Star®2 efficient home. They must complete 450 hours of “sweat equity” helping to build it, a basic tenet of Habitat for Humanity. They will also repay the no-interest mortgage in affordable low payments, illustrating Habitat for Humanity’s objective to give deserving families a “hand up” rather than a “hand out”.

    The Bonners were selected from numerous local applicants. To qualify, a family must be in need of adequate housing, fall into specified income guidelines, be able to pay a mortgage of $400 to $600, and invest in the home through “sweat equity.”

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
